    Our family law services in Burton upon Trent

    Divorce, separation and civil partnership dissolution

    Although the legal framework for divorce is now more straightforward, the decisions that sit alongside it remain complex. Financial arrangements, property and issues involving children all require careful consideration.

    Our divorce solicitors in Burton upon Trent will guide you through the process step by step. We explain how the process works, what you need to consider and how different options may affect your position. By identifying potential issues early, we help you avoid unnecessary complications later.

    We also advise on civil partnership dissolution and separation agreements, ensuring that the advice you receive reflects your individual circumstances rather than a standard approach.

    Where agreement can be reached outside of court, we will always encourage that route. If proceedings become necessary, our Burton upon Trent divorce solicitors will represent you with a clear strategy and thorough preparation.

    We have extensive experience in handling cases involving business assets, multiple properties and international elements, ensuring more complex matters are dealt with carefully.

    Financial settlements

    Financial discussions are often central to the separation process. Our Burton upon Trent financial settlement solicitors focus on helping you reach an outcome that is both fair and workable over the long term.

    We advise on a wide range of financial matters, including pensions, investments, property portfolios and business interests, as well as more straightforward situations. Our approach is to consider how any agreement will affect your financial position both now and in the future.

    Once an agreement has been reached, we can formalise it through a consent order so that it is legally binding.

    If agreement cannot be reached through negotiation, we can advise you on alternative routes such as arbitration or represent you through court proceedings.

    We provide clear information about costs from the outset. Fixed-fee options are available for certain stages, and you will always receive a detailed quotation before work begins.

    Children

    Arrangements for children require a careful and considered approach. While many parents are able to agree matters between themselves, legal advice can help ensure those arrangements are clear, practical and focused on the child’s needs.

    Where agreement is not possible, child arrangements orders may be required to set out where a child lives and how time is shared.

    Our child law solicitors in Burton upon Trent provide calm, supportive advice throughout. Whether through negotiation, mediation or court proceedings, we aim to help parents reach arrangements that provide stability and work in practice.

    Prenuptial agreements

    Couples increasingly look to clarify financial arrangements before marriage, particularly where there are existing assets such as property or business interests.

    Our prenuptial agreement solicitors in Burton upon Trent can prepare or review agreements that are clear, balanced and tailored to your circumstances. We also advise on postnuptial agreements and arrangements for civil partners.

    Putting an agreement in place can provide clarity and help avoid uncertainty in the future.

    Unmarried couples

    There is often a misconception that cohabiting couples have similar legal rights to married couples. In reality, the position is very different.

    A cohabitation agreement can help set out how finances and property are to be managed. Where a relationship has already ended without such an agreement, it is important to take advice early to understand your options.

    Our Burton upon Trent unmarried couples solicitors advise both on putting agreements in place and on resolving disputes following separation.
