Separation with consent covers couples who have decided to live apart but remain legally married, resolving arrangements on finances, housing and children by mutual agreement rather than court-imposed orders. A solicitor helps draft a separation agreement and, if needed, a further consent order to formalise financial settlements and parenting plans, guiding negotiations with the other party and ensuring terms are clear and enforceable. The process is shaped by the couple’s objectives, with emphasis on stability for any dependants and a clear record of agreed terms.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The solicitor protects your position by guiding you through formalising agreements, ensuring the terms are precise, enforceable and durable, and that deadlines and potential changes are clearly addressed. They provide regulated professional oversight, maintain client accounts, and handle any necessary communication with the other party, the court, or any relevant financial institutions.
