Divorce / Separation

Although the circumstances around the breakdown of a marriage are personal and each divorce is different, they tend to bring with them a whole host of similar questions. How does the process work? What will happen to my children? How can we work out our finances? Can we even get a divorce and how much will it cost?

the marriage has broken down irretrievably (as established by various different grounds: adultery, unreasonable behaviour, non-cohabitation for a period of one year with the consent of the other party and/or non-cohabitation for a period of two years)
one of the partners to the marriage has an interim gender recognition certificate.

Divorce / Separation

Although the circumstances around the breakdown of a marriage are personal and each divorce is different, they tend to bring with them a whole host of similar questions.

Fixed Fee Divorce

We pride ourselves on offering transparent, upfront advice about fees across all our services from the outset and where possible, always look to give an idea of costs.

Separation Agreements / Minute of Agreement

Separations can get complicated, confusing and messy. The best way to know where you stand and what has been agreed is to write it down.

Cohabitation Agreements

Although from 2006 couples who lived together were given certain rights in Scotland, it is still recommended that you draw up a Cohabitation Agreement for peace of mind now and for the future.

Prenuptial Agreements

Once thought of as something only for the rich and famous, a Prenuptial Agreement or ‘Prenup’ as they are more commonly known, is fast becoming much more commonplace for a number of reasons.

When Children Are Involved

Child Contact and Residence Orders do as they say and look to formally layout decisions made regarding children in the event of a separation or divorce.
