Divorce and Separation
Divorce
We can advise you as to whether you would be able to issue divorce proceedings and whether it would be in your best interests to do so. We can also explain the procedure on divorce and the time scales.
Separation
If you do not wish to issue divorce proceedings but want to live apart from your partner, we can advise you on the best way to achieve this and prepare a separation agreement.
Financial matter
On separation or divorce advice is often needed as to how the matrimonial assets should be divided and what factors a Court would take into account. We can guide you through this process and advise you on what forms should be completed.
Collaborative Law
An alternative way to resolve any issues between you and your partner without going to court. For more details please visit www.collaborativelaw.co.uk
How will I finance the proceedings?
We have a public funding franchise and would therefore be able to advise you as to whether you would qualify for any form of public funding, or alternatively if you are not financially eligible, we would provide you with full details of our private charging rates and give an estimate of what costs are likely to be incurred in your particular case.
For a preliminary assessment of whether you are eligible for community legal services funding please visit www.clsdirect.org.uk
