Family law

Change of name

If you decide to change your name, QualitySolicitors can help you to do this legally and properly.

Child Contact - Seeing My Kid(s)

Did you know that when parents separate very few actually go to the family courts to ask for their intervention. Most matters can be resolved through simple negotiation or mediation. If you cannot get an agreement with your ex-partner, we can help you.

Dissolution

When a civil partnership or same sex marriage breaks down, you may decide it’s time to end the relationship and go your separate ways. Just as with divorce, there is a particular legal process for ending a civil partnership - often known as civil partnership dissolution.

Financial arrangements

Deciding to end a relationship is never an easy decision. And whether you’re going through a separation or a divorce, it can be a stressful time. One of the more difficult aspects of any split is agreeing how to deal with financial matters.

Living together

More and more couples are choosing to live together and share their lives without getting married. And whilst emotionally, you may feel no different to a married couple; under the law, couples that live together without getting married do not share the same legal rights as those who marry. This can make things difficult if the relationship breaks down in the future particularly in regards to finance and property. And if children are involved, it’s important to protect their future too.

Prenuptial agreements

Planning a wedding is an exciting time - and also a time when you start thinking about your long-term future. You’re probably looking forward to a long and happy marriage but it’s also natural to wonder what unexpected twists and turns life might bring.

Separation Agreements

Separation VS Divorce

Are you separating from your wife, husband or civil partner and need legal help? If you are considering separating from your spouse or civil partner and you do not want to divorce, but you need your finances settled then consider a Separation Agreement.

- Does the family court always favour the mother when it comes to where my child should live?
  Posted on May 8, 2017
  There is a common misconception that the court favours the mother, when deciding who a child should live with, the Court will consider what is best for your child, not the parents. They do not automatically favour one parent over the other.
  
  Family law in England & Wales has evolved to recognise that a father can be the primary caregiver, just as women can now be the breadwinners. There is no gender bias. The courts consider what is in the best interests of the child.
