Family law solicitors & divorce lawyers Slough

What to expect at Slough County Court and Family Court

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.

Our team of expert lawyers in Slough can provide guidance on completing the divorce application, through to negotiating financial settlements and child custody (child arrangement orders).

You may be concerned about the amount of the marital pot because you believe your partner is concealing assets. A 28% capital gains tax on the family home, a property, a business portfolio, or other assets may simply be something you wish to avoid.

Whatever your circumstance, you will have access to our in-house accounting team as part of our divorce service. With their extensive knowledge of tax, property, valuations, business assets, shares, trusts and funds, accounts, and pensions, they will make sure you have a clear picture of the finances and assets from the start. This is essential to getting a fair settlement as well.

Family Solicitors Slough – specialists in pre & post nuptial agreements

While typically viewed as pessimistic, prenuptial agreements offer peace of mind by clarifying how assets, wealth and the overall estate will be dealt with in the event of a divorce.  Recent case law has given prenup’s more weighting in divorce proceedings (a few years ago they were less effective).  Our prenup lawyers are experts on what can be included in a prenup and how they should be set out and signed – all of which impacts their effectiveness if the worst should come to pass.

It is also possible to draft an agreement after marriage – unsurprisingly called a postnuptial agreement.

If you are interested in protecting your assets and finances with a marital agreement, book in a consultation with our family law team in Slough and speak to a divorce lawyer today.

If you’re considering getting divorced, it is usually expected that you and your partner will try marriage counselling or mediation. While you aren’t legally obligated to attempt mediation or marriage counselling, they can have real advantages, whether you decide to divorce or not.

Involving a skilled mediator or counsellor in your decision to divorce can often help to smooth the process, and encourage less animosity between yourself and your partner.

Whether you’ve been through counselling or not, Stowe Family Law solicitors in Slough are here for you.

Our Slough child solicitors have extensive experience in child arrangement cases and have seen a variety of solutions to suit every situation, no matter how niche.
