Avoid unnecessary conflict in divorce and family law
We always work to eliminate conflict from cases wherever possible. Resolving issues without recourse to the courts can help couples achieve the best outcome for their children, enabling them to separate their lives and finances without unnecessary animosity.
It will also generally mean that issues can usually be dealt with more quickly and cost-effectively. We promote non-confrontational approaches including constructive negotiation, mediation and collaborative law to reach mutual agreements that avoid the need for litigation.
As well as making the situation less stressful, this also gives you more control over the situation. By way of example, if you enter into mediation then any outcome reached will be agreed upon by you, whereas if you go to court, then you could have a decision imposed upon you that is not the result that you wanted.

Co-habitation legal advice
Many people live together without being married, meaning that they do not have the same legal protections as married couples. For example, there is no automatic right for cohabitees to share income, property or other assets, even after a long relationship.
We can advise you on how to protect your interests if you are cohabiting, to include your share in any jointly owned property that you hold.

Pre-nuptial agreements & post-nuptial agreements
Making a pre-nuptial agreement (‘pre-nup’) or post-nuptial agreement (‘post-nup’) can protect your future financial security and that of any children you have from a previous relationship. While the agreement is not legally binding, if it has been properly drawn up by a solicitor and both parties have received independent legal advice before signing, then the court will normally take it into account when making an order.
Our Kensington family lawyers can advise on:
