Domestic abuse in UK family law refers to any form of controlling, coercive, threatening, or violent behaviour between people in a personal or family relationship. It can affect spouses, partners, ex-partners, family members, and even children.
A Separation Agreement is a legally written document that sets out the arrangements between a couple who decide to separate but are not yet divorcing or dissolving a civil partnership. It covers key issues like finances, property, and child arrangements, helping both parties avoid future disputes.
Family mediation is a process that helps separating or divorcing couples resolve disputes about children, finances, or property without going to court. A trained, independent mediator helps both parties communicate and reach an agreement in a fair and structured way. Before applying to Family Court for a Child Arrangement Order or a Financial Order, you must usually attend a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM). A MIAM is a first meeting to see if mediation is suitable.
Guardianship in UK family law refers to the legal responsibility for a child’s care and upbringing when their parents are unable to do so. A guardian is an adult who is legally appointed to look after a child if the child’s parents die or are unable to care for them.
A Child Arrangement Order (CAO) is a legal order issued by the Family Court in England and Wales that sets out who a child will live with, spend time with, and have contact with after parents or guardians separate.
Cohabitation refers to a couple living together in a relationship without being married or in a civil partnership. In UK law, cohabiting couples do not have the same legal rights as married couples or civil partners, even if they have lived together for many years or have children together.
In UK family law, unmarried couples do not have the same legal rights as married couples or civil partners. Many people believe in the myth of “common law marriage”, but this does not exist in UK law—meaning that unmarried couples have limited legal protection if they separate or if one partner dies.
A civil partnership in UK family law is a legal relationship between two people that gives them similar rights and responsibilities to marriage. It was originally introduced in 2004 for same-sex couples but has been available to both same-sex and opposite-sex couples since 2019.
A solicitor plays a crucial role in pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements to ensure they are fair, legally sound, and more likely to be upheld by the courts if challenged.
In family law, a financial settlement refers to the legal process of dividing assets, income, and financial responsibilities between spouses or civil partners when they divorce or separate. It ensures that both parties receive a fair share of their finances and that any ongoing financial obligations, such as maintenance payments, are properly arranged.
