Separation Solicitors
Formal Separation can be an alternative or intermediary step before divorce. There are times when parties may not wish to divorce, but instead wish to live separately.
Parties may choose to separate due to religious beliefs or even for tax planning issues. This can be a permanent arrangement, or a step towards divorce by consent. Alternatively, a couple who have been married for less than 12 months are unable to divorce immediately, so a period of separation will be required.
Our separation solicitors will advise on what option suits your circumstances, setting out the advantages and disadvantages. We will give you legal and practical advice on Formal Separation tailored to your needs, with particular emphasis on your children and finances.
If you do not want to divorce, but wish to separate your finances, then this is also possible. In these circumstances, we can draw up a separation agreement which sets out the agreed division of the family’s assets. We can also obtain a judicial separation from the court which ends your obligations as a spouse, but does not terminate the marriage. A well written separation agreement will be considered in a future divorce, but is not binding.
