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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
