General Quesitons
The Matrimonial Causes Act is a key piece of legislation in the United Kingdom that governs divorce and related matters. It outlines the legal framework for resolving marital disputes, financial settlements, child custody, and other issues arising from marriages.
The act specifies certain grounds for divorce, including adultery, unreasonable behavior, desertion, and separation for a specific period. Our solicitors can guide you on the appropriate grounds for your case.
The duration of divorce proceedings can vary depending on various factors, including the complexity of the case and court availability. Our solicitors work to expedite the process while ensuring all legal requirements are met.
Yes, mediation is encouraged under the act to resolve disputes amicably. Our team offers mediation services to facilitate open communication and reach mutually beneficial agreements.
Our solicitors have extensive experience in family law and a deep understanding of the Matrimonial Causes Act. We provide personalized legal solutions, compassionate support, and a successful track record in handling matrimonial cases.
The use of a solicitor eliminates the emotional stress involved in family matters. Our friendly and professional family team is available to alleviate such pressures and will therefore work closely with you whilst offering you the best service.
Under the new divorce law it would be worthwhile to consider if a single application should be made or should a joint application be made. Joint applications can be made by both parties where there is amicability. In joint applications, both parties have the option to split the costs involved the same.
No. Since the introduction of a ‘non-fault’ divorce in April 2022, the obligation to apply under the previous five criteria no longer exists. This concept has been initiated by Courts in order to promote amicability between parties. There is also now an option to make a ‘joint’ application for divorce. Our specialist family solicitor at Wildings is happy to provide a non-obligation 30-minute consultation.
As you will be cohabiting, cohabitation laws will apply under such circumstances. In such cases, we would advise parties to enter into a cohabitation agreement, outlining what the outcome could be should your relationship come to an end.
Unfortunately, the UK does not recognise a Nikkah as a legal marriage in the UK. Speak with our family lawyer today to establish if you are eligible to make a claim under the Trustees and Land of Appointments and Trustees Act.
Financial Related
The act provides guidelines for fair and equitable financial settlements, considering factors like assets, income, and the needs of both spouses. We can help you negotiate and achieve a just financial settlement.
The process for negotiating a financial settlement can be done in two ways. Firstly, if financial matters are agreed upon between both parties a finance consent order can then be drafted and filed with the court alongside the relevant paperwork.
On the other hand, if matters are not agreed upon between parties and where there is a financial dispute regarding assets and finances, it would then be recommended to go through the court process of obtaining a financial order. This process is generally quite lengthy and consists of financial hearings and full financial disclosure from both parties. Once a settlement is agreed a final order will then be granted.
If Children Involved
The act addresses child custody and support issues, focusing on the best interests of the child. Our solicitors can assist you in making arrangements that comply with the act and prioritize your child’s welfare.
If you have a genuine fear that your ex-partner will not return the children back to you or the UK where they are usually resident, we will make an emergency application with the Family Courts for a Prohibited Steps Order.
Unfortunately, grandparents do not have parental rights and therefore an application needs to be made to the court initially. You will need to ask the court for permission to make an application for contact under Form C100. Our team is on hand to support you through such cases.
If you have parental responsibility, our family team can make an application to the family courts requesting a contact arrangement.
Here at Wildings, we would guide you through the process, whilst ensuring that we obtain the best and most effective result for you.
In such cases, we would initially recommend mediation. Should matters continue to not be resolved, we would then advise you on what application should be made to the court to finalise arrangements.
About Your Safety
If you are in fear for your safety or have experienced either physical, verbal, emotional, or psychological abuse, control, coercion, harassment or threatening behaviour, we are able to make an ex-parte non-molestation order to protect you from the forms of harassment above. Should there be an occupational dispute concerning property, we are also able to make an application for an occupation order.
