Divorce and Separation:
The breakdown of a marriage or civil partnership can be overwhelming, but with the right legal guidance, you can move forward with confidence. Whether you need assistance with divorce proceedings, financial settlements or arrangements for children, we offer clear, effective legal advice to help you achieve the best possible outcome.
Parenting Arrangements for Children:
If you have children, the future of their care and well-being will be your priority. Our Norwich team can guide you through the process of child support, always with an emphasis on minimising disruption for you and your children and focusing on their best interests. One way to formalise these plans is through a Child Arrangement Order, or a co-parenting agreement, which can include specific provisions for holiday and term times. This legally binding document can provide reassurance that contact arrangements will be fair and respected.
Financial Settlements:
Dividing assets and finances can be one of the most contentious aspects of divorce or separation. We offer experienced and expert advice on how best to deal with your financial assets upon a relationship breakdown and aim to advise on positive outcomes. This will include deals in property, income, pensions and savings.
We can also assist with the drafting and enforcement of prenuptial, postnuptial and cohabitation agreements to assist with future planning and avoidance of potential disputes.
Civil Partnership Dissolution:
If your civil partnership is ending, we can help you navigate the legal process. We assist with all aspects of dissolution, including financial matters and arrangements for any children involved.
Deed of Separation:
In some cases, couples prefer not to obtain a court order but still wish to formalise their separation. We can advise you on whether a Deed of Separation is the right option for you and provide assistance in drafting a legally binding agreement that reflects your needs.
Domestic Violence and Protection Orders:
If you are experiencing domestic abuse, we are here to offer you help and assistance. Our team can provide legal advice on how to protect yourself and your loved ones, including securing Non-Molestation Orders or Occupation Orders if required. We will support you throughout the legal process, working swiftly and compassionately to get the protection you need. Where we cannot assist, we will signpost you to an appropriate charity.
No matter the challenge you are facing our approach is centred on achieving the best possible outcomes for our clients. We recommend for our client’s mediation and collaborative solutions. We offer meetings face to face in our Norwich office, over the telephone and on Microsoft Teams to suit your requirements.
