Our family law services near Gillingham
Divorce, separation and civil partnership dissolution
Deciding to end a marriage or civil partnership is rarely straightforward. Even with the no-fault divorce system now in place, expert legal guidance remains crucial, especially where children or finances are involved.
Our divorce solicitors supporting clients in Gillingham are here to guide you through every step of the process. We’ll help you understand your rights, responsibilities, and the likely outcomes. We also offer support with civil partnership dissolutions and separation agreements.
If there’s an international element to your case, such as different nationalities or assets overseas, we can help you navigate the additional complexities.
Where possible, we’ll help you reach an agreement through negotiation or mediation. If court proceedings are necessary, we’ll provide strong and strategic representation to protect your interests.
Financial settlements
One of the most important elements of any separation is how finances will be divided. From property and pensions to businesses and inherited assets, our financial settlement solicitors for Gillingham clients can help you secure a fair arrangement.
We work with people in a wide range of financial circumstances and always tailor our advice to your situation. Our aim is to support you in finding a workable agreement efficiently and without unnecessary conflict.
Where agreement isn’t possible, we can support you through court-based financial proceedings and strive for a positive and practical outcome.
Children
Children are at the heart of many family law cases. Agreeing where your child will live and when they will spend time with the other parent can be one of the toughest aspects of separation.
Our child law solicitors for Gillingham families provide sensitive, practical advice on child arrangements, as well as matters such as relocation, education, or change of residence.
We always focus on protecting your child’s best interests and maintaining cooperative parenting where possible. If a court order becomes necessary, we’ll prepare your case with clarity and care.
Prenuptial agreements
A prenuptial agreement allows couples to set clear expectations before marriage, especially where there are substantial assets, business interests or children from a previous relationship.
Our Gillingham prenuptial agreement solicitors can help you create a personalised and fair agreement that reflects your priorities and safeguards both parties. We also draft and advise on postnuptial agreements if circumstances change during your marriage.
We aim to give you long-term peace of mind and prevent disputes further down the line.
Unmarried couples
Many people are surprised to learn that cohabiting couples don’t have the same legal protections as married spouses. That’s why it’s vital to implement practical legal measures.
Our solicitors help unmarried couples in Gillingham create cohabitation agreements that define financial contributions and living arrangements. If you’re already separating, we’ll help clarify your position and advise on your next steps.
We offer sensible, constructive advice to help protect your rights and reduce uncertainty.
