Divorce and relationship breakdown
We will take you through the legal aspects of divorce with sensitivity and expertise, making it as straightforward as possible and helping to resolve any financial and property issues that arise.
Separation and separation agreements
With mutual cooperation between you and your spouse, we can help you set up a formal agreement to regulate your financial affairs if you are not seeking an immediate divorce.
Financial provision/settlement
Sorting out financial and property issues during a divorce – including pensions and maintenance payments - often causes tension. We aim to sort matters out in a fair and reasonable way that reduces antagonism – particularly important where children are involved.
Cohabitee disputes
This is a highly complex area of law – and it is important to understand that there is no such thing as a ‘common law’ spouse. This means you may only have only limited rights if your relationship breaks down. We can provide the expert help you will need in such a situation.
Disputes relating to children
If your relationship breaks down, we will help with any problems arising in relation to contact or living arrangements. In any dispute, we strive to ensure that your views are fully considered and your relationship with your children is preserved and protected.
Living together and pre-nuptial agreements
To avoid doubts over what will happen to money and property if your relationship breaks down, we can help you set up a peace of mind ‘living together agreement’. Newtons Solicitors, Harrogate, also specialise in ‘pre-nuptial agreements’. Technically, these are not legally binding in this country, but the courts increasingly take note of properly drawn up agreements.
