Services
Collaborative Working
Collaborative working resolves family disputes through negotiated settlements without court proceedings. This process involves joint meetings with both parties and their solicitors to achieve mutually acceptable solutions. It prioritises maintaining relationships while addressing financial and child arrangement matters efficiently and cost-effectively.
Mediation Services
Mediation facilitates dispute resolution through structured negotiations led by an accredited mediator. This voluntary process helps couples reach agreements on parenting arrangements and financial matters while maintaining control over decisions. Sessions continue until both parties agree on acceptable solutions.
Prenuptial Agreements
Prenuptial agreements establish financial arrangements before marriage. These legally binding documents clarify asset division in case of separation, particularly for those with existing assets or children from previous relationships. Properly drafted agreements receive strong judicial consideration in UK courts.
Financial Remedy
Financial remedy addresses asset division during divorce or civil partnership dissolution. The process involves full financial disclosure and negotiations through mediation or court proceedings. We help clients achieve fair settlements covering property, income, and other financial matters.
Child Arrangements
Child arrangement services resolve custody and contact issues following relationship breakdowns. We focus on creating sustainable parenting plans that prioritise children's welfare while addressing practical considerations like schooling and healthcare arrangements through mediation or court representation.
