Divorce

Our divorce solicitors in Tunbridge Wells recognise the emotional, psychological and practical challenges that separation can cause. Even the most amicable of divorces can be difficult to navigate, which is why our team’s support and guidance will prove invaluable. Our priority will be to explore various methods of alternative dispute resolution, helping you to stay away from court wherever it is possible to do so. Our team is comprised of Family Mediators, Collaborative Lawyers and an Arbitrator, and are recognised by Chambers & Partners and The Legal 500.

Civil Partnership Dissolution

Dissolving a civil partnership is a major decision and one which can often prove to be extremely challenging. To ensure that you understand how the process will work, and what steps you need to take to resolve matters with minimal disruption, our civil partnership dissolution solicitors in Tunbridge Wells are here to provide you with the support you need. With our support, you can be confident that you will limit the potential financial and emotional impact you and your family may otherwise experience.

Separation

There are many reasons why you may choose to separate from your partner without formally ending your marriage or civil partnership. Whatever your circumstances may be, it is important that you understand the potential implications of a separation (whether informal or judicial) and what will happen if you later decide to reconcile or legally end your relationship. Our separation solicitors in Tunbridge Wells can advise you on your options, ensuring that you are fully informed before initiating proceedings.

Divorce Financial Settlements

Finances are, understandably, often among the most contentious aspects of a divorce or separation. Our divorce and financial settlement solicitors in Tunbridge Wells can help you to effectively manage any financial issues arising from your separation, helping you to reach a solution that is in your best interests, while keeping any potential conflict to a minimum. Where appropriate, we can also sign-post you to experts, including independent financial advisors, pension, tax, investment and retirement planning experts.

We take a pragmatic, solutions-focused approach, using constructive methods such as mediation and negotiation to reach fair and workable outcomes efficiently. It is important to have a formal financial order in place, as without one, you may remain vulnerable to future financial claims from your former spouse.

Our divorce financial settlement solicitors in Tunbridge Wells will ensure your financial position is properly safeguarded. Whether you need clear advice, robust representation, or court action where required, we are committed to securing your long-term interests and helping you move forward with certainty.

Children

Looking after your children’s welfare will always be your top priority during any kind of family upheaval, such as divorce or separation. However, it can often be difficult to come to an agreement with your former partner on arrangements for your children, which is where our specialist child law solicitors in Tunbridge Wells can help you.

We can help you with a Child Arrangement Order, Specific Issue Order, Prohibited Steps Order, Parental Responsibility, Special Guardianship Orders and Financial Orders for the benefit of children. We also advise on child relocation whether this is within the UK or abroad and child abduction issues.

Cohabitation Agreements

There is a commonly held belief that unmarried couples who live together are protected by the concept of ‘common law’ marriage. This is no more than a myth, meaning that unmarried couples are not afforded the same protections as their married counterparts. If you are cohabiting, you can protect yourself and reduce the potential for conflict during separation by signing a Cohabitation Agreement, also often referred to as a living together agreement.

Our cohabitation agreements solicitors in Tunbridge Wells are experts in this area of law and will be sure to answer any queries you may have.

Prenuptial Agreements

A Prenuptial Agreement (prenup) is used to protect assets in the event of a divorce, separation or dissolution. While they might not seem like the most romantic notion, prenups are often extremely beneficial, especially as they can help to promote a much more amicable separation if the time comes.

Our specialist Prenuptial Agreement solicitors in Tunbridge Wells can work alongside you to create a bespoke document that considers your current situation and what you would like to protect moving forward,  putting together a fair arrangement moving into the marriage.

Postnuptial Agreements

A Postnuptial Agreement is much the same as a Prenuptial agreement, with the only real difference being that they are created after a marriage or civil partnership has taken place. We can support you with the process of setting up a Postnuptial Agreement with your partner, as well as advising you on how to respond to an agreement which your partner has drafted.

Family Mediation

Our specialist Family Mediators in Tunbridge Wells are highly experienced in Family Mediation. Mediation is a popular method of alternative dispute resolution, providing a safe and constructive forum for discussion about various family law matters. If successful, mediation can help both parties to feel empowered about the choices they make about their futures, keeping tension and potential conflict to a minimum.

Mediation can take place using the Hybrid Model and Co-Mediation, both of which our team will be able to support you with.
