Tailored support for every situation

Our divorce and separation solicitors help with all types of separation, including divorce, ending civil partnerships, separation agreements, and judicial separation. We make sure you understand your rights and options clearly. If you’re not married but living together, we can guide you through property and financial issues related to children, which are often confusing but important.

Our team combines strong legal knowledge with kindness and understanding. We listen to your concerns and give advice that’s easy to follow, helping to reduce stress. Whenever possible, we work to find friendly solutions, but we’re ready to stand up for you in court if needed.

If you’re married or in a civil partnership

We can support you with:

Divorce proceedings
Separation agreements
Judicial separation
Dissolution of civil partnerships
Transfer of tenancy after separation

Legal Aid may be available in some cases – we can assess your eligibility during your first conversation with us.

If you’re living together (cohabiting)

Many people don’t realise that there is no such thing as a ‘common law marriage’. Your legal rights are very different if you are not married, especially when it comes to property and financial claims.

Our divorce and separation solicitors advise on:

Property and trust disputes after separation
Financial claims for children (under Schedule 1 of the Children Act)
Delaying the sale of a family home for children’s needs
Understanding your rights when the home is in one person’s name

We’ll help you work out what you’re entitled to and what next steps make sense for your situation.

What if my partner and I cannot agree on money or child arrangements?

It’s common for couples to disagree about money or childcare when separating. Our divorce and separation solicitors try to help you both agree without going to court, using correspondence or mediation. If that doesn’t work, we will support you through the court process and fight for what’s best for you and your family.

If you’re having trouble agreeing, contact our divorce and separation solicitors for friendly advice and help.

What is judicial separation, and how is it different from divorce?

Judicial separation means you live apart and sort out money and child care with the court’s help, but you don’t legally end your marriage like in a divorce. This might be the right choice if you don’t want to divorce yet or for personal reasons. Our divorce and separation solicitors can explain if this is a good option for you and guide you through the steps.

What happens to property if only one partner’s name is on it when living together?

If the house or property is in just one person’s name, legally it belongs to them. But sometimes the other partner may have rights if they helped pay for it or looked after the home. This can be complicated, so our divorce and separation solicitors will look at your situation and explain what you can do.
