Expert Harrogate divorce solicitors, on your side
Most divorces are straightforward and handled without court attendance. Sometimes, however, disputes arise involving assets, children and finances.
Whether uncontested or contested, divorce can be a time of great upheaval. Having the right support in your corner can make all the difference.
As a ‘Leading Firm’ for family law and divorce according to Legal 500, we’re here to help you secure the fairest outcome and move forward with your life from the best possible position.
Protecting your financial future
Divorce settlements can vary widely, even when the court aims for a ‘fair’ outcome. That’s why expert advice is crucial.
We specialise in all financial matters relating to divorce, including those involving:
- Property and the family home
- Pensions and retirement assets
- Businesses and trusts
- Inherited assets
- Large differences in income
We’ll guide you through the entire process of agreeing a divorce financial settlement. We call on many years’ experience working on all types of divorce financial disputes, including those involving high-net-worth, international or other complex elements.
With our divorce specialists, you get clear guidance, strategic advice and the strongest possible representation to secure your financial future.
The family home during divorce
Dividing a property is one of the most central aspects to the divorce process.
The family home is usually considered a matrimonial asset and you’ll want to know who will keep it.
We’ll unravel all the complexities and help you understand your rights, options and the most realistic outcomes. We’re also able to help you take action to protect your home if needed.
Every situation is unique. Ideally, we’ll help you to achieve the most positive result through a collaborative, negotiated approach.
Children and child arrangements
Along with property, deciding on arrangements for children can be one of the most contentious aspects of divorce.
Our priority is to make the process as amicable as possible and minimise the impact on children. We advise on:
- Where your children will live (child arrangements)
- Contact with the other parent and extended family
- How they will be financially supported
- Securing child maintenance
- Protective orders to prevent relocation or other harmful actions
- Specific decisions about schooling or relocating within the UK or abroad
Again, we’ll aim to adopt a collaborative approach, focused on wellbeing and continuity for the children involved. This will minimise expense and stress associated with court proceedings.
