OUR SERVICES
divorce
Divorce is a significant life decision, and we are here to ensure you navigate it with clarity and confidence. Whether you are considering a divorce or have already made the decision, our expert divorce lawyers will advise you on the most effective steps to achieve your desired outcome without unnecessary stress. We handle all aspects of divorce proceedings, from the initial petition through to final order, and work closely with our financial remedy team to ensure your assets are protected. Our approach is practical, strategic, and focused on achieving the best possible outcome for you and your family. We also advise on the new qualifying nuptial agreement reforms which could fundamentally change how pre-nuptial agreements are treated in divorce proceedings from 2027 onwards.
finances
A financial settlement (also known as a Financial Order or consent order) is a legally binding agreement that outlines how you and your partner will divide your assets and wealth at the conclusion of your marriage. This includes pensions, property, investments, savings, and business interests. Our Financial Order solicitors provide expert guidance and representation to help you attain the best possible outcome. We specialise in complex financial remedy cases involving high-value assets, pension sharing, and business valuations. Whether you are negotiating a consent order amicably or need court representation for a contested financial dispute, we have the expertise to protect your interests. We also advise on the tax implications of different settlement structures and work with forensic accountants where necessary. Our goal is to secure a fair and enforceable settlement that provides you with financial stability for the future.
children
Our child arrangements solicitors possess extensive practical and legal expertise in this area and are equipped to assist you with a variety of issues. We understand that disputes involving children are emotionally challenging, and we approach every case with sensitivity and a focus on the child’s best interests. Our services include:
- Child Arrangement Orders — determining who a child lives with and spends time with
- Specific Issues Orders — resolving specific disputes such as education, medical treatment, or relocation
- Prohibited Steps Orders — preventing a parent from taking a child abroad or making significant decisions without consent
- Contact and access arrangements — ensuring meaningful relationships are maintained
- Relocation cases — both internal UK moves and international relocation applications
We encourage alternative dispute resolution wherever possible, including mediation and collaborative law, to minimise conflict and protect children from the stress of court proceedings. However, we are fully prepared to represent you in court when necessary to protect your child’s welfare.
domestic violence
If you have suffered domestic violence or are in fear of suffering from it, we are here to provide immediate and continuous support. Our team can help you obtain protective orders, including Non-Molestation Orders and Occupation Orders, which can provide you and your children with the safety and security you need. We explain all available options clearly, manage the entire process on your behalf, and work with you at your pace. We understand the courage it takes to come forward, and we provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental environment. If you are in immediate danger, please call 999. For urgent legal advice, contact us on 0208 154 3131.
unmarried couples
If you’re considering moving in with your partner without getting married, we can assist you in protecting your interests by drafting a binding and enforceable cohabitation agreement. Many unmarried couples are unaware that there is no such thing as a “common law marriage” in England and Wales. Without a cohabitation agreement, you may have limited rights to property, finances, or pensions if the relationship ends. We also advise on property ownership structures (joint tenancy vs tenancy in common), declarations of trust, and financial arrangements to ensure both parties are protected. Planning ahead with a cohabitation agreement can save significant legal costs and emotional distress later.
agreements
Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements can provide peace of mind by safeguarding your money, assets, business, or assets intended for children from a previous relationship. Currently, prenuptial agreements are not automatically legally binding in England and Wales, but the courts increasingly uphold them if they meet certain criteria. The Government’s 2026 consultation on “qualifying nuptial agreements” proposes making binding pre-nups a reality for the first time. We can assist you in drafting a clear, enforceable agreement that you and your partner would find acceptable, and advise on how the proposed reforms may affect your future planning. Whether you are entering a marriage or seeking to protect wealth accumulated during a marriage, our family law solicitors UK will ensure your agreement is robust and tailored to your circumstances.
