Living apart covers the practical and legal consequences when couples or partners no longer live together but have not necessarily separated formally. It includes finances, property, housing, and arrangements for any children, for example how to divide assets, ongoing mortgage or tenancy issues, and practical support. A solicitor in this area helps draft or negotiate separation agreements or consent orders, advises on applications to resolve disputes, and coordinates with any relevant guardians or child services. They may assist with disclosures, negotiating maintenance, and planning for future arrangements if the relationship ends formally.
The moment a separation decision progresses to property, money, or child arrangements, there are time-sensitive steps and irreversible choices. A solicitor protects your position by guiding you through the relevant forms, deadlines, and court-backed orders under the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973 and the Children Act 1989, ensures proper disclosure of finances, and maintains clear records and communications.

Tagged solicitor Melanie Bridgen
I contacted Melanie Bridgen from Nelsons Solicitors in Derby for advice in child arrangement. Her knowledge was more than I could ask for. She helped me through every concern I had and with her colleague Melanie Theakstone put together my wishes, contacted my ex, made sure that everything I legally wanted it was written down as clear for the court application as possible. They followed my case through CAFCASS and the final court order. Mrs. Bridgen had straight questions, and answers to everything. They took the process of my shoulder, and in 2 months I have received the final order from court (with Christmas included). I cannot be more thankful for their job and knowledge.

Emma was professional, easy to understand and knowledgeable. The office in Epworth is just a counter, not very inviting. The whole process was easy

Excellent from start to finish. I instructed this firm to handle my divorce. Despite things being initially acrimonious with my wife, Shelley De’Worringham, quickly got a grip of the pertinent issues and guided me through the process quickly and efficiently, keeping me informed every step of the way. Although firm in her approach, Shelley was able to neutralise the high emotions in my case and negotiate with the other side - achieving a result that we were both happy with. Whilst divorce is never easy, Shelley and her team worked incredibly hard to make the process easier and alleviate my stress. I shall be eternally grateful to this firm, particularly Shelley and her team for helping me.
