Mediation is often an ideal solution where there are disputes are concerning children, housing, and finances. This process comes without the worry, expense, and adversarial nature of litigation and court appearances.
We cover the whole spectrum of family law including:
Divorce
Terminating a marriage or civil partnership can be tough. Our Divorce Solicitors in Leicester can talk you through the legal process and any steps needed to be taken in the unlikely circumstance that it leads to a court procedure. If undisputed divorce can typically take four to six months but can only formally be issued after one formal year of a marriage or civil partnership.
There are a number of things to consider when dealing with a divorce or separation including debt responsibility, division and distribution of assets or wealth, payments towards maintenance and issues related to pensions.
Divorce is often an expensive process. Our Family Law team based in Leicester can guide you through the whole process and aim to be as transparent as possible in terms of costs.
Domestic Violence
Domestic violence includes, but is not limited to, physical injury, verbal abuse, harassment, bullying or threats from someone close to you. At Wilson Browne, our domestic violence solicitors in Leicester can offer advice when dealing with Domestic Violence. This can include police involvement, application for an injunction order, defending an application or considering the use of undertakings.
Prenuptial & Postnuptial agreements
Prenuptial agreements made by a couple before marriage. These arrangements commonly deal with financial matters including property ownership and financial contributions. These arrangements provide a measure of certainty for both parties and a means of protecting assets. A postnuptial agreement is done after a couple’s marriage.
In the event that a couple’s relationship breaks down these agreements can be used in court as a basis for financial settlement if they are deemed fair. However, the arrangements aren’t necessarily legally binding.
Children & Residency Issues
Following any kind of relationship breakdown we all want what’s best for our children. Our Leicester based Family law team can offer their experience by giving advice on divorce proceedings where children are involved. We can advise on a full range of issues including help with any available finance and property assistance for both you and your children.
In the event that an agreement cannot be reached there are a number of court orders that can be used. Our team will be on hand to guide you every step of the way.
Cohabitation Agreements
The law treats those who are unmarried very differently to married couples. We can help to set our clear arrangements dealing with household contents, financial contributions and property ownership. Our expert team can help to outline and tailor your agreement to your personal circumstances and deal with any issues if the relationship breaks down.
Mediation
Resolving disputes in a confidential and voluntary manner. Mediation is ideal when dealing with disputes involving children, finance or housing. The main objective is to find a resolution or settlement that all parties can agree to without the expense, stress and time needed for court appearances and litigation. This is achieved through an impartial mediator.
Mediation can be used before or during an ongoing dispute. A typical session can last over an hour and will be as flexible as possible to account for all parties involved. All attending members are permitted to seek their own legal advice at any time.
