Common questions about family law
Every family matter has its own facts. These answers explain the starting point.
Start with the facts.
What are the grounds for divorce?
In England and Wales, a divorce application is based on the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. We can explain the application, timing, and decisions that sit alongside it.
How are finances and assets divided?
The outcome depends on factors such as income, housing needs, assets, pensions, children, and the length of the marriage. Financial settlement advice helps you assess the information before agreeing terms.
How do child arrangements work?
Child arrangements set out where children live and how they spend time with each parent. We help you work towards a safe, workable plan, or advise on court steps if agreement is not possible.
What is a prenuptial agreement?
It is an agreement made before marriage that records how certain finances may be treated if the relationship ends. Both people should receive separate legal advice and provide financial information.
What help is available for domestic abuse?
Support may include advice about protective injunctions, evidence, housing, and child arrangements. If you are in immediate danger, contact the emergency services first.
