  • 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.

  • How do I begin a divorce?

    All you need to do to start your divorce is get a divorce application. There are two different ways to apply for a divorce: either by yourself as a sole applicant or with your ex as joint applicants. Our Chester divorce solicitors recommend figuring this out prior to starting your divorce to prevent any delays which can cost extra time and money for all parties involved.

  • What do I need to do to respond to a divorce application?

    In order to respond to a divorce application, you just need to state you have the application and if you want to dispute it. However, the legal jargon can make it confusing to know if you have done it ‘right’. Why not reach out to our lawyers in Chester? We’ll be more than happy to guide you through the process in terms you understand. 

  • How do I set up arrangements for child custody?

    We recognise just how difficult it is to agree on child arrangements (previously known as child custody). The important thing to remember throughout it all is your child or children and ensuring you are doing what is best for them. Working with a child law specialist can help you and your ex to reach an agreement that is suitable for everyone. 

    As experts in family law, you can trust our team has the skills and experience to help you through this trying time.   

  • Can you help me with my divorce settlement?

  • Do your Chester lawyers help with civil partnership dissolution?

    Ending any type of relationship is never easy. When it comes to dissolving a civil partnership, it’s important to know that you can only dissolve it if you have been in your partnership for a year. As well as that, the grounds for dissolution are different to divorce, so you need to decide this too. 

    Once you have reached this milestone, you will receive the same benefits to couples who are getting divorced. However, you will still need to organise the financial settlement or any child arrangements. Our expert lawyers will be more than happy to help you navigate this tricky time.
