This area covers informal or ongoing separations where a couple remains legally married but no longer lives together. It includes understanding each party’s rights and responsibilities during separation, and arranging financial and ch ild arrangements where there is no divorce, or where a divorce is not yet pursued. A solicitor in this field helps clients with formalising finances and parenting plans, negotiates settlements, and may draft separation agreements or applications for court orders where necessary.
Where a solicitor protects your position
A separation can affect living arrangements, finances, and the welfare of any children. A solicitor helps secure a clear, binding framework—such as a separation agreement or consent order when appropriate—covering housing, maintenance, children, and share of assets, while ensuring deadlines and possible court steps are understood and protected by professional oversight.
