Divorce and Civil Partnership Dissolution
Our experienced solicitors can offer comprehensive advice at every stage of the divorce process, including completing Divorce Applications, facilitating discussions and agreements regarding finances and children, and obtaining a Final Order.
Couples who have been in a Civil Partnership for at least one year who wish to end it have the option to pursue a Civil Partnership dissolution. In England and Wales, this can be done on a 'no-fault' basis, much like a divorce. Seeking the support of our specialist Family Law Solicitors can help to make this process more straightforward.
Separation
For couples looking to live apart without formally dissolving a marriage, we can assist couples in drafting a Separation Agreement. This may outline the handling of, for example, division of assets, potential spousal support, and the living arrangements for any children.
Cohabitation Agreements
Unmarried couples living together lack legal and financial safeguards if their relationship ends, often leading to disputes over finances and assets.
A Cohabitation Agreement outlines the management of property, finances, and children in case the relationship concludes. By preparing this agreement, our solicitors can provide you with legal protection and a clear understanding of your rights and obligations.
Prenuptial Agreements
Entering into a marriage can be an exciting milestone, but it is important to understand the significant legal implications.
A Prenuptial Agreement serves the purpose of outlining the assets owned by each partner and establishing how these assets would be divided in the event of a future divorce. Our experienced team can provide valuable assistance in crafting a Prenuptial Agreement that aligns with your circumstances and needs.
Child Residence and Contact
Our experienced solicitors possess extensive expertise in all matters related to Child Law. We understand the significance of safeguarding your interests as well as those of your children, and we are committed to assisting you in finding the best solution for all.
At Dutton Gregory, we can help couples to apply for Child Arrangements Orders, as well as offer support with other matters related to Child Law, such as:
- Prohibited Steps Orders
- Specific Issue Orders
- Grandparents’ rights
- Parental Orders
- Parental Responsibility Orders
- Child Adoption Law
Domestic Abuse
Domestic violence is very distressing and seeking help can be challenging. It is important to access support as soon as you can. Our solicitors have a wealth of experience in dealing with these types of complex cases. Once we understand the nuances of your personal circumstances, we will be able to carefully guide you through the legal process, providing advice and support the entire way.
We can assist you in obtaining a Non-Molestation Order or an Occupation Order. Such measures are designed to provide necessary protection and help create a safer environment for you and your children. Our team will always remain sensitive to your cause.
Surrogacy
Starting a family through surrogacy and IVF is a big commitment and there are legal aspects to consider. Our team is experienced in assisting with all related matters, such as making applications to Court, obtaining Parental Orders, interim arrangements, safeguarding surrogates and parents, international surrogacy matters, and both domestic and High Court proceedings.
Why choose us?
Legal issues surrounding family matters are delicate by nature, and therefore must be handled with great care.
Each family is unique, meaning there is no ‘one size fits all’ remedy to a dispute. That’s why our solicitors will always take the time to gain an understanding of your individual situation, your history and your objectives before getting to work on your case. That way, we can determine the best strategy towards achieving your desired outcome in a timely manner.
At Dutton Gregory, we believe our clients deserve the very best. No matter how complex your case, we will go above and beyond to find a solution that meets your requirements and allows you the peace of mind to start rebuilding.
Our Family Law department consists of specialists whose vast experience within the profession best equips them to deliver the tailored advice you need during this difficult time.
