At Fentimans solicitors we deal with all types of family law, such as divorce, separation agreements, financial arrangements, child custody, violence in the home, cohabitation and pre-nuptial agreements.

DIVORCE

If you are sure the marriage has come to an end, we will assist you in completing the formalities in a cost effective and sympathetic way.

SEPARATION AGREEMENT

Either made in contemplation of future divorce or by unmarried couples who wish to formalise their separation by recording an agreement reached between them.

FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS IN DIVORCE

The Courts have a very wide discretion about dividing family assets between a divorcing couple and expert advice is essential in order to ensure that you receive your fair share.

CHILD CUSTODY

Residence, contact, parental responsibility, financial provision, child abduction and adoption are all matters where expert advice is essential.

VIOLENCE IN THE HOME

Do not suffer unnecessarily. The law is there to help you and rapid and effective Court procedures are available to prevent intimidation or assault and in some cases, the offender can be excluded from the family home.

COHABITATION

There is no such thing as the "common law wife". The best course of action is to enter into a Cohabitation Agreement when the relationship starts. We can advise on the legal consequences of living together and prepare a Cohabitation Agreement and also advise on the implications of the new Civil Partnership Law.

PRE-NUPTIAL AGREEMENT

Although not officially recognised in this country, the Courts are paying increasing attention to the contents of such agreements when the relationship breaks down.
