Our family law services in Swindon
Divorce, separation and civil partnership dissolution
If your relationship has broken down, it’s important to get legal advice that helps you protect your rights and make informed choices. We advise clients on divorce, civil partnership dissolution, and formal separation agreements.
Our Swindon divorce solicitors are equipped to assist with straightforward legal separations as well as international divorces and high-net-worth cases involving property, pensions, or children.
Where possible, we aim to avoid court proceedings, reaching agreements through negotiation or mediation. If court involvement is necessary, we will represent you with clarity and determination.
Financial settlements
Dividing finances is often one of the most important and difficult parts of a separation. Our solicitors work with you to reach a financial settlement that offers fairness and long-term financial stability.
We deal with matters involving family homes, pensions, savings, business assets, and more. Our goal is always to reach a binding agreement that supports your future, whether through negotiation, arbitration or the courts.
Children
Putting your child’s well-being first is essential following a separation. Our child law solicitors provide sensible advice to help you make appropriate parenting arrangements that meet your child’s needs.
We assist parents in obtaining Child Arrangements Orders, defining where the child lives and how much time they spend with each parent. We also support clients dealing with relocation, contact disputes, and shared parenting concerns.
Prenuptial agreements
If you are planning to marry and want to protect your assets, a prenuptial agreement can give you peace of mind. These agreements are especially important where one or both parties have substantial property, inheritance, or business interests.
Our Swindon solicitors can draft or review prenuptial and postnuptial agreements to ensure they are fair, clear, and legally enforceable.
Unmarried couples
If you live with your partner without being married or in a civil partnership, your legal rights are limited. The idea of a common law marriage is a myth and does not provide any legal protection.
Our unmarried couples solicitors advise on how to safeguard your interests with a cohabitation agreement—a legal document that sets out financial responsibilities and rights.
We also help clients who are separating without a prior agreement understand their legal position and options.
