Divorce Arbitration Solicitors
If you want to settle your divorce out of court, arbitration can be a quicker, cost effective, and more private option.
Separation Agreement Solicitors
Our team have years of experience in dealing with family law, helping couples untangle complex shared assets, resolving disputes and helping people come to a clear understanding.
When should you consider separation?
Going through a formal separation works best when:
- Both you and your partner are in agreement
- You can both still discuss matters openly and productively (even if it gets difficult at times).
We know this is easier said than done – but we can help you communicate, assess your options, find common ground, and come out with a clear way to move forward.
If you need individual emotional support, you’ll get four free sessions when you use our services – through our in-house counselling expert Vicky Lambert.
How does a separation agreement work?
You’ll work with solicitors to agree on things like:
- Child maintenance payments
- How to divide bank accounts, savings, and debts
- Who will live where, and who will pay the mortgage and bills
- Who your children will live with and other access arrangements
- If you’re selling a house, how proceeds will be divided between you
- How to divide your personal possessions (like cars, furniture, and sentimental items).
If you later decide to divorce, this agreement may provide the basis for a Financial Consent Order, which becomes legally binding when the Decree Absolute is granted in divorce proceedings.
The upside of this is a potentially lower-cost divorce, as you won’t need to mediate through these issues, or go to court. (But if you’re struggling to agree on the terms, mediation can help).
