Our family law services near Walton-on-Thames
Divorce, separation and civil partnership dissolution
Divorce or separation can be a challenging process, from the financial aspects to the emotional turmoil. While recent changes have simplified the legal steps, obtaining professional advice is essential to protect your interests, particularly regarding finances and children.
Our Walton-on-Thames divorce solicitors provide clear and step-by-step support, ensuring you fully understand the processes and your best options.
We can also assist with civil partnership dissolution, and help couples with separation agreements where divorce is not the best option for you.
We aim to resolve disputes outside of court where possible, saving you time and minimising conflict. If court action is required, our team will represent you robustly to achieve the best outcome for you and your loved ones.
For complex cases, including high-value or especially difficult international divorces, we have the expertise to handle your situation with care and precision.
Financial settlements
Reaching an agreement on financial matters is often one of the most arduous parts of a separation or divorce. Our Walton-on-Thames family law solicitors provide expert support to help you negotiate a fair financial settlement, which can then be drafted into a legally binding Consent Order.
We are experienced in dealing with complex financial situations, including multiple properties, pensions, business interests, and other high-value assets. Rest assured, we can offer expertise and personalised advice regardless of the complexity of your case.
If it is not possible to negotiate an agreement with your ex-spouse, we are well-prepared to guide you through arbitration or represent you in court to ensure a fair resolution.
Children
For families with children, agreeing on living arrangements and contact schedules is often the top priority. Many parents can reach amicable agreements by themselves, but others may need legal support.
At Woolley & Co, we can assist you with various options, including solicitor-led negotiations, mediation, or court assistance to resolve child law matters.
A Child Arrangements Order sets out where a child will live and when they will spend time with the non-resident parent. These were previously referred to as Contact Orders and Residence Orders.
If you need support to obtain a Child Arrangements Order or negotiate with your ex-spouse, our expert team can help you.
Our Walton-on-Thames child law solicitors provide clear and practical advice to help resolve these issues in a way that prioritises your children’s welfare while protecting your parental rights.
Prenuptial agreements
Prenuptial agreements are a practical way to safeguard your financial assets and other provisions before entering marriage. This is particularly important for couples with significant assets, property, or children from previous relationships.
Our Walton-on-Thames prenuptial agreement solicitors can draft or review agreements that are fair and tailored to your needs. We also advise on postnuptial agreements for married couples and agreements for civil partners.
Unmarried couples
Unmarried couples do not have the same legal rights as married couples when it comes to property or finances. If you are cohabitating as unmarried partners, neither partner will have any automatic entitlement to each other’s property or assets, if the relationship breaks down.
A cohabitation agreement is a valuable way to set out financial responsibilities and protect both parties in the event of separation. If you are separating without such an agreement, seeking legal advice is essential to understand your position.
Our Walton-on-Thames family law solicitors provide support for drafting cohabitation agreements and guiding unmarried couples through separation.
