Our family law services in Dartford
Divorce, separation and civil partnership dissolution
Ending a relationship is never easy. Whether you’re applying for a divorce, seeking a civil partnership dissolution, or looking to formalise a separation, our solicitors will provide expert guidance throughout.
Our Dartford divorce solicitors can help you understand your rights and responsibilities, whether your situation is straightforward or involves more complex issues such as international elements, shared businesses, or high-value assets. We regularly support clients through international divorces.
We always seek the most amicable resolution possible, but we’ll also be ready to represent you firmly and effectively in court, if required.
Financial settlements
Reaching a clear and fair financial agreement is one of the most important parts of a separation. Our Dartford financial settlement solicitors are here to guide you through every stage of the process.
We help with the division of marital property, savings, pensions, and business interests, working to secure financial settlements that offer long-term stability. Whether through negotiation or formal legal proceedings, we’ll aim for an outcome that supports your future.
Children
Arrangements involving children are often the most sensitive and important part of any separation. Our team provides guidance that puts the well-being of your children first.
Our child law solicitors can assist you in applying for Child Arrangements Orders, setting out where your child will live and how much time they will spend with each parent.
We help parents reach cooperative solutions where possible, while also offering robust representation if court involvement is necessary.
Prenuptial agreements
A prenuptial agreement offers reassurance and clarity before marriage by protecting assets and setting out each partner’s financial expectations.
Our Dartford solicitors can draft tailored prenuptial or postnuptial agreements that reflect your specific circumstances and provide peace of mind—particularly useful for those with property, inherited wealth, or business interests.
Unmarried couples
Cohabiting partners do not have the same legal rights as married couples, despite widespread belief in the idea of common law marriage. If you live together and separate, your legal position may be more uncertain.
Our unmarried couples solicitors help protect your interests with a clear cohabitation agreement that sets out financial responsibilities and ownership of shared assets.
If you’re ending a relationship without an agreement in place, we can explain your rights and help you take appropriate legal steps.
