We cut out the legal jargon to help you to understand your family law, no fault divorce or children matter in simple terms
It can take around 8 - 12 months, sometimes a little longer. It will also depend on whether you are able to reach a financial settlement by agreement, and on the complexity of the financial matter.
Yes, once you have agreed the terms you should always instruct a family lawyer to draft the financial agreement and advise you on its terms. This will reassure you that the agreement is fair and ensure that the agreed order is approved by the court.
A 50/50 split is often the starting point for long marriages but is not automatic and the emphasis is on reaching a fair settlement. Family lawyers look at the circumstances of the case and rely on certain factors as set out at s.25 of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1975.
No. Unmarried couples do not have the same rights as married couples who are separating. This can have devastating consequences for the family, especially when children are involved. It is crucial to speak to a family lawyer when unmarried couples are thinking about moving in together or when they have decided to separate
Prenuptial agreements are not automatically legally binding but can be relied upon provided they meet the fairness test.
