This area covers the family home in divorce or separation, including who may live there, rights of occupancy and how the home is dealt with if a relationship ends. A solicitor in this area helps clients apply for occupancy orders, resolve who registers deeds or ownership, and negotiate or apply for settlements that protect or define a home for the foreseeable future. It can shape living arrangements, temporary or long-term, and influence financial outcomes tied to the home.
Where a solicitor protects your position
An occupancy or protection order can decide who may stay in the home, when it can be sold, and what rights each party has. A solicitor explains application grounds, helps gather evidence of ownership or occupancy, and negotiates interim or final orders to safeguard a client’s home and bailiwick in court.
