Buying a home together but not married? 🏡

It’s easy to assume that living together gives you the same legal rights as being married, but that isn’t necessarily the case.

If you’re moving in together or buying a property as an unmarried couple, a Cohabitation Agreement can help you both be clear about your financial arrangements and what you’ve agreed from the outset.

It’s not about expecting a relationship to end. It’s about having important conversations now and making sure you both understand where you stand.

Our Family Law team can advise you on Cohabitation Agreements and help put the right arrangements in place for your circumstances.

Talking about a prenuptial agreement might not feel like the most romantic part of planning a wedding, but it can be a positive and practical conversation to have.

A prenup gives couples the opportunity to discuss their finances openly and agree how they would like certain assets to be treated should the relationship end in the future.

Far from planning for a marriage to fail, it can simply be about starting married life with greater clarity and understanding.

If you’re considering a prenuptial agreement, our Family Law team can guide you through the process and make sure you understand what it could mean for you.

Mediation is about finding a way forward that works for your family.

Rather than having decisions made for you, mediation gives you the opportunity to talk through the issues that matter and have a say in the agreements you reach.

This might include how you’ll manage finances following a separation, arrangements for your children, or the practical details of living separately.

With an independent mediator there to guide discussions, the aim is to keep conversations productive and focused on finding solutions that both parties can move forward with.

Every family is different, and mediation won’t be right for every situation. Our Family Law team can help you understand your options and the most appropriate next steps.

Parenting after separation doesn’t always have to mean going to court. 💙

Where parents are able to agree on arrangements for their children, a Parenting Plan can be a helpful way to put those decisions in writing and give everyone some clarity moving forward.

It can cover practical arrangements such as where children will spend their time, school holidays, special occasions, communication and how important decisions will be made.

Every family is different, and a Parenting Plan can be tailored to what works best for you and, most importantly, your children.

Our Family Law team can help you understand your options and put an agreed plan in place, with the aim of keeping things as straightforward and amicable as possible.

Sometimes, the words from our clients mean more than we can say.

Going through a court process can feel incredibly overwhelming, particularly when you’ve already reached the point where you feel you can’t take much more.

We were so grateful to receive these kind words from a recent client:
“My sincerest thanks for your help and understanding during this process. I was at breaking point with the court process when we first spoke and you have made this matter easy to process and concluded this with speed. Your support has been greatly appreciated.”

Providing clear advice is an important part of what we do, but so is making sure our clients feel listened to, understood and supported throughout the process.

Thank you for trusting us to help you through such a difficult time.
