Prenuptial agreements are becoming increasingly popular, and although some may take offence to this type of agreement, they are a wise choice for both parties involved.
A prenup agreement is drawn up before a wedding takes place. It’s also possible to enter into a postnuptial agreement after the ceremony has taken place. The agreement clarifies how finances, property, child arrangements and assets are to be divided if the relationship breaks down.
Our solicitors have experience in arranging both prenup and postnup agreements. Although they are not currently legally binding in England and Wales, it’s likely the law will change soon, so they are a practical idea.
To find out how we can help you set up a pre or postnuptial agreement, get in touch for expert assistance.
Whether you have suffered from physical or psychological abuse, are being stalked, harassed or have another valid reason to keep someone from coming into contact with you, call us for practical advice. We can arrange an injunction order that restricts the perpetrator from coming within a certain distance of you, your children, home, property and assets.
Injunctions are often granted for the following reasons:
While you can apply for a divorce yourself, a solicitor can ensure the process is handled correctly, protect your financial interests, and help resolve arrangements for children. Legal advice is especially important if the divorce is contested or complex.
A no-fault divorce allows couples to end their marriage without assigning blame. It was introduced in England and Wales in April 2022 and simplifies the process by removing the need to prove fault (e.g., adultery or unreasonable behaviour).
A Child Arrangement Order sets out where a child will live, and how much time they’ll spend with each parent. If parents can’t agree on arrangements, the court may intervene and make a decision based on the child’s best interests.
Yes, but grandparents must usually apply for leave (permission) from the court before applying for a contact order. The court’s primary concern is always the child’s welfare.
Parental responsibility means having legal rights and duties in relation to a child’s upbringing. A mother automatically has it. A father usually has it if:
A prenuptial agreement sets out how assets should be divided if a marriage breaks down. While not automatically binding, courts increasingly take them into account, especially if they are fair, freely entered into, and both parties had legal advice.
You can seek legal protection through the courts, including:
Your solicitor can help you apply urgently and work with the police or support services as needed.
