Our family law services in Basildon
Divorce, separation and civil partnership dissolution
Whether you’re getting a divorce, ending a civil partnership, or seeking a separation agreement, our team can help you understand your options and make informed choices from the start.
We work with clients in all types of situations—from straightforward divorces to more complex cases involving overseas assets and children. We also have extensive experience in international divorce cases.
Our goal is to settle matters amicably where possible, but if litigation becomes necessary, you can rely on our firm and focused representation.
Financial settlements
A financial settlement is a key part of the separation process. Our Basildon solicitors can help you resolve financial issues fairly, whether it involves shared property, pensions, savings, or business assets.
We’ll work with you to achieve a financial settlement that meets your needs and those of your family. When an agreement can’t be reached through negotiation or mediation, we can represent you in arbitration or court.
Children
Ensuring your children are cared for and supported following a separation is essential. Our family law solicitors in Basildon can help you make arrangements that put your child’s best interests first.
We assist parents in securing Child Arrangements Orders through court where necessary and provide guidance on parental responsibility and living arrangements.
Our child law solicitors offer practical advice to help you navigate these sensitive issues with as little disruption as possible.
Prenuptial agreements
A prenuptial agreement allows couples to plan their financial futures and avoid uncertainty in the event of a separation.
Our Basildon solicitors are highly experienced in drafting and reviewing prenuptial and postnuptial agreements. These documents are particularly useful if you have property, inherited assets, or children from a previous relationship.
Unmarried couples
Unmarried couples do not have the same legal protections as married couples, which can lead to complications if they separate. Despite common myths, there is no such thing as a common law marriage in the UK.
Our unmarried couples solicitors can help you create a cohabitation agreement that outlines each partner’s rights and responsibilities.
If you are separating without a legal agreement in place, we can guide you through the available legal remedies and help secure a fair outcome.
