Divorce Financial Settlement

Divorce does not automatically end the financial obligations you and your spouse have to one another. Failure to obtain a Court Order setting out how your assets are to be divided may mean your ex-spouse can claim further property or money from you in the future, even many years ahead. Find out how our Swindon Family Law team can help you achieve a clean break divorce financial settlement.

Child Custody Advice and Representation

Whether you were married or cohabiting, if you are a parent and your relationship breaks down, important decisions must be taken about the future arrangements for your child or children. Often it’s not easy to reach an agreement with your former partner as to the best way forward. Our highly experienced children solicitors help families across Wiltshire and further afield to reach agreement over children arrangements. Our team are committed to resolving matters amicably and sensitively and, should it becomes necessary for the Court to make a decision, we will be there to represent and guide you through the family court process. Full details are available here.

Child Maintenance

Following a relationship breakdown between parents, the importance of child support cannot be underestimated. The Child Maintenance Service (previously known as the Child Support Agency) does not always have the power to deal with child maintenance, so if you cannot agree on a level of financial support on a voluntary basis with your former partner, an application to the Court may still be necessary. Our Swindon Family Law team will aim to settle your case amicably and out of court, but if court proceedings are required, we are able to advise and represent you through this process.

Domestic Abuse

If either you or your children are experiencing harassment, coercive control or domestic abuse, you should seek legal advice urgently. Our Swindon Family Law team are responsive in a crisis and aim to help and support you compassionately and efficiently to ensure your safety and that of your loved ones. More information is available here.

Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements

Although both Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements are still not binding under English Law, courts are increasingly taking them into consideration during divorce, as long as certain criteria and safeguards have been met. Rather than considering them unromantic, couples are viewing them as pragmatic, and a way of limiting conflict between them should the worse happen. Our Swindon Family Law team have considerable experience and reputation in advising on, and drafting, Prenups and Postnups for couples across Wiltshire and beyond. You will find more information here.

BLB Family Mediation Service

On relationship breakdown, emotions can run high, yet there are inevitably important decisions to be made regarding the future. Talking face-to-face with your former partner is usually the quickest and most inexpensive way to resolve your differences. Understandably, however, this can be a daunting prospect and this is where family mediation can help. The BLB Family Mediation Service is one of the most popular and respected in the region.
