Separation Agreements

Separation Agreement Solicitors

Making the decision to end a relationship is rarely easy and, in some occasions, you may need specialist legal advice to ensure the process is handled fairly. We can support you to get a legal or judicial separation, to formally separate from your partner without getting divorced or ending your civil partnership.
A Separation Agreement, whilst not a legally binding Agreement identifies your intentions and can be highly persuasive if there is any later dispute over financial claims. Agreements can set out;

• How you wish to divide your property and other capital
• Childcare arrangements, child support or spousal maintenance
• Any other aspect of your financial separation that needs to be clearly defined.

Should divorce or dissolution follow, separation agreements can also help keep legal costs down by avoiding length court proceedings.
