Our family law services in Wigan

Divorce and separation

Bethan Cooper is one of our most trusted divorce lawyers in Wigan, supporting couples through divorce and civil partnership dissolution. We understand that separation often involves more than the legal process itself, with important decisions to be made about finances, children and future arrangements. As part of a Legal 500 recognised team, our solicitors provide practical advice tailored to your circumstances and help clients find the right approach for their family.

Pre and postnuptial agreements

Our lawyers can draft both prenuptial contracts and postnuptial agreements, helping to ensure your assets remain protected. These agreements can help couples establish clear expectations around finances and future planning before disputes arise. By setting out arrangements in advance, they can provide reassurance and greater certainty for both parties.

Finances and divorce

Splitting finances during a divorce is never easy, but our solicitors will guide you through the process. Financial settlements often involve a range of considerations, from property and pensions to business interests and long-term financial security. Supported by Stowe’s specialist accountants, our team can provide additional expertise when dealing with more complex financial arrangements.

Cohabitation agreements

A living together agreement drafted by our cohabitation lawyers helps ensure unmarried couples who live together have certain legal rights. Many people are surprised to learn that cohabiting couples do not have the same legal protections as married couples or civil partners. Putting an agreement in place early can help clarify responsibilities and avoid misunderstandings in the future.

Domestic abuse support

Our domestic violence lawyers can issue proceedings for non-molestation orders and occupation orders. We understand that seeking legal advice can often feel overwhelming, which is why our team provides compassionate support throughout the process. Alongside explaining the protections available, we help clients understand the options open to them during a difficult and uncertain time.

Fertility law

Our fertility solicitors can assist on cases including surrogacy and adoption. As family-building options continue to evolve, specialist legal advice can help individuals and couples better understand the legal implications involved. Fertility law often raises important questions around legal parenthood and parental responsibility, making expert guidance invaluable throughout the process.
