Child arrangements order
In a recent case handled by Stowe Family Law's Lichfield office in the West Midlands, a couple in the process of divorce found it challenging to reach a mutual agreement about the custody of their three young children. Seeking the assistance of the family solicitors at Stowe Family Law's Lichfield office, they initiated legal proceedings to obtain a child arrangements order from the family court.
Utilising their expertise in UK child law, the Lichfield team assisted the couple in establishing arrangements that prioritised the best interests of the children. By obtaining a child arrangements order, the parents could share parental responsibilities in a manner that worked for all parties, allowing the family to move forward.
Divorce and pension division
Pensions are frequently overlooked in divorce. In fact, research indicates that 71% of divorcing couples neglect pension sharing, often to the detriment of the woman, highlighting the gender pension gap.
Stowe Family Law's Lichfield office recently finalised a financial settlement in a case involving a couple going through divorce after almost 15 years of marriage. The Lichfield team worked closely with the client to assess their financial circumstances and identify a settlement that would provide long-term financial certainty, including a share of their ex-spouse’s pension pot.
Negotiating the best possible financial outcome, including a pension-sharing order and a fair share of matrimonial assets, the Lichfield team ensured the client could look to the future with financial security.
Cohabitation agreement
Another case handled by Stowe Family Law's Lichfield office involved an unmarried couple who had rented together for years in the West Midlands, with children from each of their respective former relationships. Our client, concerned about future financial protection in the absence of legal rights akin to married couples, contacted us after deciding to buy a property together, largely funded by her savings.
The Lichfield team worked with the couple to create a cohabitation agreement that addressed their specific circumstances, formally recording property ownership details and outlining how they intended to split the net sale proceeds in the event of separation and sale.
