divorce and separation
Deciding to separate or divorce is rarely an easy decision,
especially where children are involved. Our team of experienced
divorce solicitors can talk you through your options and give
advice on what to expect from the legal process. Our Welsh divorce
solicitors and Chester based team have a reputation for giving
realistic, grounded advice that helps you to make sense of the
situation and move forward in the simplest and swiftest way
possible.
You may need advice from a divorce solicitor to understand
where you stand in the first instance, or you may want to initiate
(or respond to) divorce proceedings.
Agreeing to a
financial settlement and
deciding on arrangements for any
children are often the main
sources of difficulty when couples separate and divorce. Our
divorce solicitors will work alongside you to negotiate an
agreement regarding child arrangements and finances or to represent
you in court proceedings if necessary.
If you do not wish to divorce, perhaps for religious or social
reasons, then our solicitors can advise you on a judicial
separation. In this case, although you and your partner remain
legally married, all matrimonial obligations come to an end. This
can help ensure your rights in relation to children and financial
arrangements are protected.
If you are looking for a less acrimonious way of dealing with
matters, you may want to consider
collaborative law.
