Family Lawyers in Cheam
Our team of family lawyers in Cheam are available to support you through a variety of family law issues.
We can assist with everything associated with the end of a relationship, whether that’s a marriage, civil partnership, or families who live together but are not married. This includes divorce, dissolution, separation, child arrangement, cohabitation agreements and pre- and post-nuptials.
Divorce and Separation Solicitors
Divorce and separation are legal processes that allow married couples to end their marriage or live separately. Divorce is the legal termination of a marriage, resulting in a complete dissolution of the marital relationship. It involves the division of assets, and determination of spousal support, and may also address child custody and support arrangements.
Separation, on the other hand, is when a married couple decides to live apart without legally terminating the marriage. During separation, couples may negotiate agreements related to property division, child custody, and financial support.
Financial and Child Arrangements Solicitors
Child arrangements refer to the legal arrangements and agreements made regarding the care, upbringing, and contact with a child when parents separate or divorce. These arrangements encompass matters such as residence (where the child will primarily live), contact (visitation rights for the non-residential parent), and decision-making authority concerning the child’s welfare.
Cohabitation agreements Solicitors
A cohabitation agreement exists between individuals who live together but are not married or in a civil partnership. The legal contract outlines the rights, responsibilities, and expectations of each party during their cohabitation and in the event of separation. It can cover property ownership, financial contributions, division of assets, and arrangements for children.
Pre- and post-nuptial agreements Solicitors
A prenuptial agreement is a legal contract a couple can enter before they get married, outlining the division of assets, property, and financial responsibilities in the event of divorce or separation. A postnuptial agreement is a contract created after a wedding or civil partnership. Similar to a prenuptial agreement, a postnup specifies the division of assets and addresses financial matters in the event of divorce or separation.
