Divorce law
Whether you’re looking to divorce your partner, or you’re responding to a divorce application made by your spouse, you’ll be looking for expert help and support.
The divorce process can be difficult to navigate, and for many, it can instil a sense of anxiety and confusion; which is why we take great care to outline the emotional, practical and legal challenges that lie ahead whilst providing practical next steps so that you can move forward to achieve the outcome you need.
We can provide guidance on completing the divorce application, through to negotiating financial settlements and child custody (child arrangement orders).
-
Is there anything I need to know before starting a divorce application?
Prior to starting your divorce process, it’s important for you and your ex-spouse to decide whether you want to apply for a divorce as joint applicants or just one of you – also known as a sole applicant. Figuring this out can save you and potentially your ex (if applying as joint applicants) money, time, as well as making the process more cordial.
-
How do I respond to a divorce application?
We understand that being asked to ‘respond’ to a divorce application can be stressful and emotional. You may not even know what responding means – basically, you just need to confirm you have received the application and if you want to dispute it. If you’re not sure where to begin, our Berkhamsted divorce lawyers will be more than happy to help you.
-
What do I need to know when making arrangements for child custody?
We recognise just how challenging it can be to decide on child arrangements. You love your kids and want them to spend time with you, but your ex feels the same way. Throughout it all, ensuring your kids are the top priority is paramount and having a third party – like a child law specialist – can ensure this is maintained. We’ll work with you to create a fair and reasonable agreement that works for both the parents and the children.
-
Can you help me reach financial settlements in my divorce?
Just like a marriage, a couple’s financial situation is unique. This makes trying to separate finances during a divorce incredibly difficult which is why it can be beneficial to have a specialist by your side. We’ve got years of experience in divorce, so our lawyers can easily help you divide your assets fairly – including pensions, investments, and property. Whether you need help in the UK or with international assets, our divorce team is here to help.

Civil partnership dissolution
Taking the decision to end a civil partnership takes a heavy emotional toll. While many are familiar with the concept of divorce, the path to dissolving a civil partnership will feel much less clear. The process used to end a civil partnership is known as dissolution and it can only be instigated after you have been in a civil partnership for a year.
If you choose to dissolve your civil partnership, you will still be entitled to all the same benefits and entitlements as those who get divorced, and in a similar vein, thought will need to be given to the sharing of assets and the arrangements that need to be made for your children. To help you navigate a dissolution, our expert team can provide practical guidance and peace of mind.
