This area covers ending a marriage or civil partnership and related cohabitation matters, including divorce or dissolution, separation, and negotiating or applying for financial settlements, orders for children, and resolution of property rights. A family solicitor handles the petition or application, helps with disclosure of finances, drafts or negotiates consent orders, and guides clients through mediation or court proceedings in the Family Court. It also covers cohabitation disputes and an array of post-separation steps such as orders for residence, contact with children, and protection from abuse when relevant.

Key decisions here are time-sensitive and personally transformative: the dissolution of a marriage or civil partnership, arrangements for children, and financial provision. A solicitor helps protect your position through careful evidence gathering, financial disclosure, and the drafting of court documents and consent orders that set out lasting terms.
