Our family law services in High Wycombe
Divorce, separation and civil partnership dissolution
The decision to separate can be emotionally and legally complex. Whether you are pursuing divorce, ending a civil partnership, or seeking a separation agreement, it is essential to have expert legal advice tailored to your circumstances.
Our High Wycombe divorce solicitors ensure that your rights are protected at every stage. We assist with straightforward cases as well as more complex situations, such as those involving international elements or substantial financial assets. If required, our team is highly experienced in handling international divorces.
Whenever possible, we aim to resolve matters amicably through mediation and negotiation, helping clients avoid the need for court proceedings. However, if legal action is necessary, we provide strong representation to safeguard your interests.
Financial settlements
A fair financial settlement is crucial for ensuring financial security after separation. Whether you need to divide property, pensions, or business assets, our High Wycombe financial settlement solicitors can guide you through the process.
We assist with all aspects of financial settlements, from negotiating a fair division of assets to securing legally binding financial orders. If agreements cannot be reached through mediation, we provide robust legal representation in arbitration or court proceedings.
Children
Making arrangements for children after separation is a key concern for many parents. While some families are able to agree on living arrangements and parental responsibility, others require legal intervention to protect the child’s welfare.
Our child law solicitors assist parents in securing Child Arrangements Orders to formalise where a child will live and how they will maintain contact with both parents.
We always prioritise the best interests of the child, offering clear guidance to help families find practical, workable solutions.
Prenuptial agreements
For couples entering marriage, a prenuptial agreement provides clarity on financial matters and safeguards assets in the event of a separation. These agreements are particularly beneficial for individuals with property, family businesses, or inherited wealth.
Our High Wycombe solicitors have extensive experience in drafting and reviewing prenuptial agreements that ensure both parties have financial security and transparency. We also assist with postnuptial agreements and similar arrangements for civil partnerships.
Unmarried couples
Cohabiting couples often assume they have the same rights as married couples, but common law marriage does not exist in UK law. Without legal protections, separating partners may have no automatic claim to financial assets or property.
Our unmarried couples solicitors advise on the legal options available to cohabiting couples. A cohabitation agreement can outline financial responsibilities and clarify property ownership, offering protection if the relationship ends.
If you are separating without such an agreement in place, we can help you understand your legal position and the steps available to secure a fair outcome.
