Protecting your interests with a pre-nuptial agreement
Designed for soon-to-be married couples, prenups set out ownership of the couple’s money, assets and property, and formally establishes how they wish for them to be divided in the event of divorce.
The team in Leamington Spa are experienced in helping couples gain peace of mind by putting in place pre-nuptial agreements that enable clients to protect inheritance, or future inheritance, define how assets that cannot be split are distributed, help to reserve specific assets for children from previous relationships, protect against liability for sole debt incurred prior to marriage, and more.
Our expert family lawyers based in Warwickshire can assist you with your prenuptial agreement, whether dealing with high-net-worth cases with complicated assets, or agreements simply covering property and inheritance for children.
Divorcing and the division of property
A common issue faced by the divorce lawyers in Leamington Spa is the division of marital property as part of the broader divorce settlement.
One such case that the Leamington Spa team worked on involved the division of a home in Warwickshire that both parties wanted to remain in.
The couple had been unable to reach an agreement on who should retain ownership of the property, the highest value asset in their divorce settlement, so it was agreed to seek a resolution via divorce mediation.
Meanwhile, our family solicitors supported their client to fully establish the running costs associated with retaining the family home.
Once a clear understanding of costs had been determined, our client concluded they could no longer afford to buy out the other party. Instead, the Leamington Spa family lawyers supported the client as they looked at other options for division of the property.
As a result of mediation, a mutual decision was reached to sell the home and split the equity 50/50. The sale of the property generated enough capital for them to each buy new homes.
Legal support when seeking child custody
Our family lawyers in Leamington Spa frequently support separated parents across Warwickshire who have been unable to agree on custody arrangements for their children, following divorce or separation.
In a recent case, the team represented the mother of a child whose ex-partner had failed to adhere to the child custody arrangements agreed between themselves.
Following discussions with our family lawyers, it was agreed the best approach for our client and her child was to apply for a child arrangement order from the family courts, so that a more formal structure was in place.
Drawing on their expertise in Child Law, the team developed a bespoke child custody arrangement that prioritised the best interests of the child whilst also meeting the needs of both parents.
The case was taken to the court and, after legal proceedings, the court issued a child arrangements order that reflected the agreement reached, allowing continuity and reassurance for the child, and helping to stabilise relations between the parents.
