Our family law services in Cheltenham
Divorce, separation and civil partnership dissolution
The legal and emotional complexities of separation can be overwhelming. Whether you need assistance with divorce, dissolving a civil partnership, or creating a separation agreement, our solicitors provide expert guidance.
Our Cheltenham divorce solicitors assist with all aspects of separation, from straightforward cases to complex financial disputes and international matters. If your case involves overseas assets or cross-border considerations, our expertise in international divorce ensures you receive the right legal support.
Whenever possible, we strive to resolve matters amicably through mediation. However, if court action is unavoidable, we offer strong representation to protect your rights.
Financial settlements
Reaching a fair financial settlement is essential to securing your future after a separation. Whether you are dividing property, investments, pensions, or business assets, our Cheltenham financial settlement solicitors will ensure you achieve the best possible outcome.
We assist clients in negotiating legally binding financial settlements. If discussions break down, we provide robust representation in arbitration or court proceedings to ensure a fair resolution.
Children
Ensuring stability and security for children after a relationship breakdown is a priority for most parents. While some families can reach agreements without legal intervention, others require assistance to resolve disputes fairly.
Our child law solicitors support parents in obtaining Child Arrangements Orders that determine where a child will live and how they will spend time with both parents.
We offer practical, clear advice to help parents navigate child-related legal matters, always prioritising the wellbeing of the child.
Prenuptial agreements
For couples planning to marry, a prenuptial agreement provides financial clarity and security. These agreements are particularly beneficial for those with significant assets, property, or business interests.
Our Cheltenham solicitors have extensive experience in drafting and reviewing prenuptial agreements that protect both parties’ interests. We also assist with postnuptial agreements for married couples.
Unmarried couples
Many cohabiting couples believe they have the same legal protections as married couples, but common law marriage does not exist under UK law. Without the right legal agreements in place, separating partners may have no automatic entitlement to shared assets.
Our unmarried couples solicitors advise cohabiting partners on legal protections available to them. A cohabitation agreement can set out financial responsibilities and property ownership, providing security in the event of a breakup.
If you are separating without a legal agreement in place, we can provide guidance on your rights and options.
