Family law matters are never easy to deal with. When people get separated or divorced it can be very tough on everyone involved. This includes things like figuring out who gets to see the kids and how to split up the money and stuff. The decisions you make during this time can affect your life for a time.
Our family solicitors in Woking are here to help you with advice that puts you and your kids first.
Separation
In 2022 England and Wales changed the rules so people can get a divorce without having to prove someone was at fault. This makes things a bit easier for some couples.. Even if the divorce is not being fought people still need to figure out how to split up the money and who gets to see the kids.
We help people with divorces that are being fought. Those that are not. We also help with things like separation and ending civil partnerships. We will explain all your options to you like talking things out with a mediator working together with a lawyer or going to court. This way you can make decisions for your family.
Financial Settlements and Consent Orders
When people get divorced they need to figure out how to split up the money and stuff. This is not about splitting everything down the middle. You have to think about things like pensions, houses, businesses, debts and how money you might make in the future.
Our family solicitors in Woking work to make sure people get a fair deal that will last. We do this by talking to the side using a mediator or going to court.
If you and your ex can agree on how to split up the money and stuff you can get a consent order from the court. This is like an agreement that is legally binding and will protect both of you. We can help you with this.
Children Arrangements
When parents cannot agree on who gets to see the kids or where they will live it can get very emotional. We help people figure out what to do in these situations. We can help you get a court order that says what is best for your kids.
We also help people who want to move with their kids either to a different part of the country or to a different country altogether.. We help with things that involve social services and care proceedings.
Domestic Abuse and Non-Molestation Orders
If you or your kids are in danger you need to act. We can help you get a court order that will protect you away. Our team is very sensitive and discreet when dealing with these kinds of issues.
Pre-Nuptial and Post-Nuptial Agreements
More and more courts in England are recognising agreements that people make before they get married. These agreements can help protect the things you had before you got married.
We can help you make one of these agreements that's fair and clear. This way if it is ever challenged it will be more likely to be upheld.
