Our divorce and family law services

Separation agreements

When you want to stop living together, a separation agreement can set out the arrangements you want to make. The aim is to amicably settle matters such as property, investments, and children with your spouse, even if a divorce is contemplated in the future.

Divorce and separation

Finances on divorce

Our divorce law solicitors can address financial concerns and safeguard your interests, including pension division and child financial support. This ensures that your ex-spouse can’t claim your finances in the future, where possible.

Finance

Child Arrangements

When you separate you may find it hard to agree on the arrangements for your children. Our team can guide you through the options to make arrangements in the best interests of the children. If you and your partner can’t agree, you may need to apply to the court for a Child Arrangements Order.

Child Arrangements

Protecting your parental rights

We can also help you apply for a Prohibited Steps Order, which can prevent a parent from carrying out an action or making a decision about the child without the Court’s permission.

Prohibited steps

Cohabitation Agreements/LTA

For unmarried couples cohabiting, a cohabitation agreement helps outline asset and financial arrangements in the event of a breakup. This ‘Living Together Agreement’ (LTA) can cover property ownership, pet custody, childcare responsibilities, as well as current financial management like mortgage payments and bills.

Pre- and Post-Nuptial Agreements

Whether you’re considering marriage or already married, pre- and post-nuptial agreements provide greater financial certainty and help protect your assets such as property, inherited wealth, or businesses in the event of divorce or dissolution of a civil partnership.

Pre- and post-nuptial agreements

Clean Break Consent Orders

Although divorce ends the marriage formally, financial obligations may remain. We aim to ensure that post-divorce, your ex-spouse cannot claim future financial entitlements, helping you move on with your life.

Family Mediation

Mediation offers a non-confrontational approach to resolving separation issues. It helps you to reach an amicable solution and minimise the emotional impact of your divorce or separation on family members. We can refer you to family mediation services throughout Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire.

Sarah Gill who handled my case in Market Harborough was very professional and had extensive knowledge of my rights. The timescales and costs were also very accurate and response time to any queries was very good. I received the outcome that I wanted to. I would recommend the company to anyone for legal help, support and peace of mind with any matter.

Cannot speak highly of the team at Rothera Bray Beeston, who helped me along to get my issue resolved. Special mention goes to Jack English, who showed incredible resilience, along with a large dose of patience whilst guiding me along the way, so that the correct result was obtained. Would have no hesitation in recommending this practice for whatever legal service you require. Thank you once more!

We cannot thank Rothera Bray enough for the outstanding support they provided throughout our Special Guardianship Order (SGO) process. Thanks to their expertise, professionalism, and dedication, we achieved a successful outcome, and we genuinely couldn't have done it without them. A special thank you goes to Ann-Marie and Emily, who guided us every step of the way. They were always there to offer advice, reassurance, and practical support whenever we needed it. No question was ever too much trouble, and they responded to any concerns or issues incredibly quickly, giving us confidence throughout what was a very challenging and emotional process. Their professionalism, knowledge, and attention to detail are of the highest standard. They made us feel supported from start to finish and always had our best interests at heart. We are truly grateful for everything they have done for our family and would wholeheartedly recommend Rothera Bray to anyone in need of exceptional legal representation. Thank you again, Ann-Marie and Emily, for making such a positive difference to our lives.

Having had to unfortunately move from a previous solicitor due to their frankly awful service I was recommended Emily Sherwood at Rothera Bray. I can honestly say she was incredible. She helped me re-group, ground myself and get back on track in an incredibly difficult situation and the end result was vastly different from the path it was heading. I would highly recommend Emily, and Rothera Bray. Hopefully I won't need to use the services of a solicitor again but if I do I would not hesitate to reach back out to them. Thank you again Emily for your sound advice, counsel and support.

Emily Sherwood was outstanding again, she is professional, supportive, kind, empathetic and efficient. I don’t know how I would have got through all of it without her. She truly is the best and I’m so lucky to have had her as my solicitor. Thank you Rothera bray for providing such a wonderful solicitor from your company.

I recently spoke with David from Rothera Bray, found him and the whole team to be very helpful and professional. Dealing with a solicitor is not something most people have to do on a day to day basis and the team made it as easy and smooth as possible. Highly recommended.

I’d like to say a massive thank you for all of Emily Sherwood and the teams help at Rothera Bay. Response to enquiries has been timely and everything discussed was dealt with empathy and professionalism. I was guided through the process and fees were discussed transparently, I’m very grateful for all the help received so far.

I used Rebecca's services via Rothera Bray Solicitors to deal with the financial side to a divorce. I had an initial face to face appointment to talk through everything with Rebecca and this made me feel at ease and felt that Rebecca was the right person to help me. Rebecca has kept me highly informed at all stages throughout and has also given lots of great advice and has helped me a lot with getting things sorted. I am really happy with the service that I received and Rebecca was so friendly, kind, understanding and very helpful. I would 100% recommend to anyone who is requiring the help during a divorce.
