Our family law services in Milton Keynes
Divorce, separation and civil partnership dissolution
The breakdown of a relationship can be emotionally overwhelming, and dealing with legal matters may feel daunting. Whether you are pursuing a divorce, dissolving a civil partnership, or considering separation, professional advice is essential to protect your interests.
Our Milton Keynes divorce solicitors provide clear, practical guidance to ensure you understand your legal rights and responsibilities at every stage. We also offer tailored support for clients facing complex cases, including international divorces.
Wherever possible, we encourage negotiation or mediation to reach amicable agreements, avoiding the need for court proceedings. If court action becomes necessary, we will represent you robustly to achieve the best possible outcome.
Financial settlements
Financial arrangements can be one of the most challenging aspects of separation. Ensuring a fair division of assets requires expert support, particularly in cases involving multiple properties, pensions, or business interests.
Our Milton Keynes solicitors are highly experienced in negotiating financial settlements and formalising agreements that meet the needs of all parties involved. When disputes cannot be resolved through mediation, we provide representation through arbitration or court proceedings to secure a fair resolution.
Children
Arranging appropriate care and contact arrangements for children is a key concern for separating parents. While many families come to agreements independently, there are times when solicitor guidance is necessary to manage disputes or create clarity.
Our child law solicitors help parents secure Child Arrangement Orders to define where children will live and how much time they will spend with each parent. Our expertise also extends to handling more complex cases, always prioritising the welfare of the children involved.
Prenuptial agreements
Prenuptial agreements are a practical way to safeguard financial assets before marriage. They are particularly important for individuals with significant assets, property, or inherited wealth.
Our Milton Keynes solicitors assist with drafting and reviewing prenuptial agreements that ensure fairness and clarity for both parties. We also provide support with postnuptial agreements and similar arrangements for civil partners.
Unmarried couples
For unmarried couples who live together, legal rights can be a grey area. Contrary to the belief in ‘common law marriage,’ unmarried couples are not automatically entitled to each other’s property or finances upon separation.
Our unmarried couples solicitors provide expert assistance in creating cohabitation agreements to clarify financial responsibilities and safeguard both parties. If you are separating without such an agreement, we can help guide you through your legal rights and options.
