πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§ Can your ex dictate who is around your child?

When parents separate, introducing a new partner can sometimes become a major source of conflict.

Can your ex tell you who can be around your child? Do they have to meet your new partner first? Can they stop your child staying overnight with your new partner?

Generally, neither parent can control who is around the child during the other parent's parenting time simply because they dislike or disagree with the relationship.

But where there is a genuine concern about a child's safety or welfare, the position can be very different.

Our latest guide explains where you stand and what you can do if you have genuine concerns about a new partner.

πŸ’What does marriage mean legally?

Marriage is about much more than saying β€œI do”. Once you get married, your legal rights and responsibilities change, including your position around finances, inheritance, property and what happens if the marriage ends.

But what does marriage actually mean in law, and what changes legally when you get married?

Our latest guide explains:

β€’ What marriage means legally in England and Wales
β€’ The financial responsibilities that come with marriage
β€’ Your inheritance and next-of-kin rights
β€’ What happens to your finances if you divorce
β€’ Whether marriage is a legal contract
β€’ How marriage differs from living together or entering a civil partnership
β€’ The practical legal steps to consider after getting married

If you’re planning to marry, considering a prenuptial agreement, or simply want to understand the legal implications, our guide explains it in straightforward terms.

🏠 Can your ex claim money or assets after divorce?

One of the biggest misconceptions about divorce is that once the divorce is final, your financial ties are automatically over.

They aren't.

Without a financial order, and particularly a clean break order, your former spouse may still be able to make financial claims in the future, potentially even years later.

So, what happens if you buy a new house, build up savings or remarry?

Our latest guide explains what you need to know and why a clean break can give you greater financial certainty.

Healing after divorce or separation isn’t just about sorting out the legal side.

Separation can bring a huge range of emotions, from sadness and anger to uncertainty about what comes next. Finding a way to rebuild your confidence and move forward can take time.

In his latest article for The Divorce Magazine, Woolley & Co solicitor Sanjay Solanki shares some practical and compassionate steps to help people navigate life after divorce or separation, including looking after your wellbeing, building a support network and helping children through the changes.

If you’re going through separation or divorce, you don’t have to have everything figured out straight away. Taking things one step at a time can make a difference.

πŸ’¬ Unreasonable behaviour and divorce: what changed?

If you remember the old divorce process, you may remember having to give examples of your spouse's β€œunreasonable behaviour” to prove that your marriage had broken down.

That changed in 2022 with the introduction of no-fault divorce.

You no longer need to assign blame or give examples of behaviour to get divorced in England and Wales.

But does behaviour still matter when it comes to finances or children?

Our latest guide explains what changed, what replaced unreasonable behaviour and when behaviour can still be relevant.
