Your Guide to the Separation Process

Separation involves much more than just living apart. It requires you to untangle your shared lives and make crucial decisions for the future. Our solicitors are experts in guiding you through the key issues that need to be resolved.

Arrangements for Children

Your first priority is your children. We help you focus on their best interests to agree on a stable and positive routine, covering where they will live and the contact they will have with each parent, often formalised in a Child Arrangement Order.

Discuss Your Children

Financial & Property Separation

We provide robust advice on how to handle joint bank accounts, bills, and the family home. We are specialists in negotiating a fair financial settlement that protects your long-term security.

Protect Your Finances

Separation Agreements

If you are not married or not yet ready to divorce, we can draft a formal Separation Agreement. This document clearly sets out the terms of your separation, providing clarity and reducing the risk of future disputes.

Common Questions About Family Separation

What is the legal difference between separation and divorce?

Separation is the act of ending your relationship and living apart. Divorce is the formal legal process of ending a marriage. You can be separated for a long time without being divorced, but you cannot get divorced without first being separated.

Do we need a solicitor if our separation is amicable?

It is highly advisable. Even in the most amicable separations, it is crucial to have a solicitor draft a legally binding Consent Order to formalise your financial agreement. Without it, your ex-partner could make a claim against your future assets, such as a lottery win or inheritance.

What are my rights if we were not married?

Unmarried couples, or cohabitees, have different legal rights to married couples. The law on dividing property is much more complex. However, you still have important rights, particularly in relation to your children. We are experts in providing advice on cohabitation disputes.

Take the First Step with Confidence

The first step in any separation is understanding your legal position. Contact our expert family solicitors for a confidential, no-obligation discussion about your case.
