Financial Issues

We will consider with you the best process for you to achieve a resolution of your financial issues. Where possible we will try to achieve an amicable settlement through solicitor negotiation, not least to try and preserve ongoing relationships, but also in an attempt to reduce costs. However, where necessary we are experienced in taking effective court action.

We appreciate this is a time when your finances are likely to be under pressure. We aim to provide a cost effective service, working with you to try and ensure that the costs remain proportionate to the issues involved.

We are also able to offer an excellent support service for those seeking a more self-representing approach, but need some assistance along the way.

Financial Issues for Unmarried Couples

Regrettably few unmarried couples effectively document their arrangements. The law relating to those living together but remaining unmarried, differs from laws which apply to a married couple. If you have been or are planning to share a home with your partner we can guide you through the complex legal issues determining property rights on separation.

Should children be involved we can also advise you on issues of parental responsibility and future parenting arrangements. We can also advise and guide you when it comes to any claims you may have to make to meet the children's financial needs in the future.
