What Can Our Solicitors Help With?
Our solicitors assist anyone with family law needs, including spouses, civil partners, parents and grandparents. The issues we regularly help clients with include:
Divorce and Separation
We understand how lonely life can seem when your relationship breaks down. Sometimes, it can help to have an initial meeting with a solicitor experienced in the area to ascertain what your options are. Formal divorce or the dissolution of your civil partnership is a big step that can have far reaching effects, so our solicitors will signpost you to organisations who may be able to help you and your partner work through your issues and find a positive way forward.
If, notwithstanding your best efforts, your issues appear incapable of resolution, our solicitors will work with you to ascertain which method of separation would be the most suitable to your circumstances. If you are married, the usual method of separation will be divorce; for those in a civil partnership, it is dissolution.
Clients are often surprised to hear however, that there are alternatives. These methods, which include Judicial Separation, are less common and usually suitable to discrete situations such as where a couple is opposed to divorce on religious grounds. Our solicitors will explain all of the methods to you and advise on the most suitable in your case.

Parental separation can give rise to a range of complex matters such as where the child should live and maintenance payments. Sometimes, extremely emotive issues like child relocation can arise, adding to the stress placed on all parties, including the children. Our solicitors are experienced in all aspects of child law. They believe that the interests of the child are paramount. Whilst they will fight your corner every step of the way, the wellbeing of your child will be at the forefront of their minds at all times.
Our solicitors serve Melton Mowbray, Uppingham, Rutland, Stamford, Oakham and surrounding areas providing expert legal advice.
Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements
Our solicitors have assisted many clients to protect their interests through a Prenuptial or Postnuptial Agreement. The purpose of Prenuptial Agreements and Postnuptial Agreements is the same; to give couples the opportunity to document how their assets should be divided in the event of a split. The primary difference is when the agreements are entered into. As their name suggests, Prenuptial Agreements are entered into prior to a marriage or civil partnership, whereas Postnuptial Agreements come into effect afterwards. The timing of a Prenuptial Agreement is crucial to its subsequent enforceability, so it is important to seek legal advice as soon as you decide it is the appropriate route for you and your partner.
Cohabitation Agreements
If you and your partner decide against a legal marriage or civil partnership, it is vital to take steps to record your joint intentions with regard to the nature of your relationship. If you do not, you may find yourself in an unexpected, unenviable situation should your relationship end because of a split or the sad death of your partner. You may not have next of kin rights, you may be unable to remain in the family home and you may have no entitlement to the assets you and your partner enjoyed together. Cohabitation Agreements are quick to put into effect, cost effective and offer a perfect way for unmarried couples to take steps to protect their respective interests.
