Divorce and Separation Solicitors

It is an unfortunate fact of life that not all marriages are successful.  When a relationship breaks down it is not unusual for one or both parties to seek to end the marriage, civil partnership or to obtain a formal decree of judicial separation.

If you are married and want to permanently end your marriage, you should apply for a divorce. If you are in a civil partnership and want to permanently end your civil partnership, you should apply for a dissolution. Both divorce and dissolution are ways to end a legally binding relationship.

A decree of judicial separation is a Court Order, however, legally separated couples will still be married. In judicial separation cases the Court has the same range of powers as it does in divorce cases in terms of dividing assets of the marriage, including spousal maintenance.  The main difference being that unlike divorce or dissolution where a Pension Sharing Order can be made, a Court may only be able to make an Order to offset or make a Pension Attachment Order.

Child Arrangements and Children Matters

If there are children under 18 or vulnerable young adult children, then the Court must be satisfied that proper arrangements are being made for their welfare.

Financial Settlements After Separation

A fair division of the family assets, including the family home, must be worked out.  In many cases this is achieved by negotiation between Solicitors and agreement between the parties.  At E J Moyle LLP, Solicitors, we emphasise negotiation and agreement rather than conflict and confrontation in the application of the principles of Family Law to the special circumstances of each individual case.
