Arrangements
for children
When a relationship breaks down, this can often involve difficulties concerning arrangements for any children.
It is important that children are not caught up in parental conflict and I will ensure that any issues concerning arrangements for children are resolved with the least amount of stress for parents and children.
Dissolution of
Civil Partnership
​
In 2005 the law changed so that same-sex couples achieved similar rights, obligations and entitlements as to marriage by entering into a civil partnership.
The law further changed in 2014, to allow same-sex couples to marry and additional changes in December 2019 allowed heterosexual couples to enter into civil partnerships.
​
International Divorce
Parties to a marriage will often have links to other countries. This might be by birth or in the country where they are presently residing.
Many families with an international connection find at the time of relationship breakdown that one or more country can deal with the financial aspects of their separation.
Unmarried Couples and Cohabitation
There can be a misunderstanding that if parties have cohabited for a significant number of years then they are “common-law husband or wife”.
The reality is that there is no such thing as a common-law spouse. You are either married or not – and the law is very different upon separation if you are not married.
