Our friendly divorce solicitors in Covent Garden are here to guide you through the challenges of separating from your partner. With years of experience under our belts, we understand just what you are going through and specialise in helping people sort out all the legal aspects of separation as quickly, cost-effectively and painlessly as possible.
Our service covers:
- Filing the divorce or dissolution application
- Helping you work out a divorce financial settlement to divide your money and property fairly
- Working out arrangements for children, including residence and contact
- Agreeing spousal maintenance
- Working out child maintenance
We particularly specialise in complex and high value matters and can provide bespoke advice about the unique issues involved in LGBT+ divorce, international divorce, military and army divorce and high net worth divorce and dissolution.
We are also leading lawyers in ‘no-fault divorce’, which is a fresh approach to divorce and dissolution which allows couples to make an application without having to prove any reasons.
Divorce or dissolution is a big step and maybe it is not right for you at this moment in time. If so, our separation solicitors in Covent Garden can provide advice about separating without officially ending your relationship.
Separation may be right for you if:
- You have religious, cultural or personal reasons against divorce.
- You have been married for less than a year and cannot get a divorce yet.
- You simply have not decided whether to divorce or dissolution yet.
We can advise on Separation Agreements (also known as Deeds of Separation) to sort out your finances and arrangements for children while you are separated. We can also advise on Legal Separation (also known as Judicial Separation) if you need the assistance of the courts.
It is very common for people to live together before or instead of getting married. However, cohabiting couples still do not have the same legal rights as married spouses or civil partners. If you break up, you have no automatic rights to your partner’s property.
Our specialist cohabitation solicitors in Covent Garden can help you protect your financial interests and set out a co-parenting plan in case you ever break up. We can draft a bespoke Cohabitation Agreement (also known as a Living Agreement) that clearly sets out things like:
- ‘Who owns what’ in your relationship.
- How you will manage your finances, such as paying bills and maintaining debts.
- How your assets should be divided if you ever break up.
We also help separating couples resolve a wide range of cohabitation disputes, from disagreements about property ownership, to childcare issues, to disagreements about the interpretation of a Cohabitation Agreement.
Sorting out finances is often the most contentious aspect of divorce, dissolution or separation. Our expert Covent Garden divorce solicitors specialise in helping families work through the issues cooperatively so you can move forwards with your life in financial security.
Our divorce and finances solicitors help people negotiate fair financial settlement and make financial claims. Our expertise includes:
Marriage is a partnership, but it is still important to protect your financial interests. There may be many reasons why you do not want to share all your money and property with your partner. For example, perhaps you have a family inheritance to protect or maybe you have maintenance arrangements from previous relationships that you want to stay the same.
