Matrimonial/Family
Family breakdown is always difficult, and frequently involves complex and far-reaching financial adjustments at a time when you are emotionally vulnerable. It is a considerable benefit and may even be crucial that you work with a Solicitor whom you can trust and who will deal with these matters in a professional but sensitive manner.
- Financial Settlements on Divorce
It is highly advantageous to seek an early agreement with your spouse if possible, although it will always be necessary to deal with all matters relating to your finances in an open and transparent manner if this is to be achieved and approved by the Court.
Once proceedings are issued strict timetables for disclosure need to be adhered to.
- Children Matters
We deal with residence, contact and child maintenance disputes. The best interests of the children are the paramount consideration and we encourage agreement between parents wherever possible.
- Cohabitation
There are often issues to be resolved between unmarried “partners” that require similar consideration and we are able to assist in negotiating and drafting trust agreements in relation to ownership of property as well as the increasing trend toward prenuptial agreements which may in some circumstances now be enforceable.
