Our family law services near Maidenhead
Divorce, separation and civil partnership dissolution
Divorce or separation can be a significant life change, often accompanied by emotional and practical challenges. While the legal process has become simpler, expert advice is essential to protect your interests and help manage financial and childcare arrangements.
Our Maidenhead divorce solicitors provide clear and practical guidance to help you understand the process and your legal rights.
We also assist with civil partnership dissolution, and separation agreements for couples who wish to remain legally connected but live apart.
We aim to resolve disputes through negotiation and mediation where possible, helping to avoid the need for court action. Should court proceedings be required, our solicitors will provide strong representation to achieve the best outcome for you and your family.
At Woolley & Co, we are also experienced in handling high-value and international divorces cases, ensuring tailored support for more complex situations.
Financial settlements
Agreeing on a financial settlement is often one of the most challenging aspects of divorce or separation. Our Maidenhead family law solicitors can help you negotiate a fair agreement and ensure it is formalised through a consent order.
We have considerable experience dealing with complex financial matters, including property ownership, pensions, business assets, and investments.
If an agreement cannot be reached through negotiation, we are skilled in supporting clients through arbitration or court proceedings to achieve a fair resolution.
Children
Making arrangements for children following a separation is a priority for most parents. While many can reach informal agreements, others may need legal support to resolve disputes or clarify arrangements.
A Child Arrangements Order determines where a child will live and how much time they will spend with each parent. These orders replaced the previous Contact Orders and Residence Orders. If you need support to obtain a Child Arrangements Order, or navigate related child law issues, our team can help you.
Our Maidenhead child law solicitors provide expert advice to help you find workable solutions that prioritise your children’s well-being while safeguarding your parental rights.
Prenuptial agreements
Prenuptial agreements are an effective way to safeguard your financial assets before entering marriage. They are particularly useful for individuals with significant property, savings, or children from previous relationships.
Our Maidenhead prenuptial agreement solicitors can assist with drafting or reviewing agreements tailored to your needs. We also advise on postnuptial agreements for those who are already married, as well as equivalent agreements for civil partners.
Unmarried couples
Cohabiting couples often believe they have similar legal rights to married couples, but this is not the case. The concept of ‘common law marriage’ is a myth, and unmarried couples do not have automatic rights to each other’s property or finances.
A cohabitation agreement can set out financial responsibilities and provide clarity in the event of a separation for unmarried couples. If you are separating without an agreement in place, legal advice is essential to understand your position and options.
Our Maidenhead family law solicitors can help draft cohabitation agreements or support you through the process of separation as an unmarried couple.
