At Bennett Richmond we aim to resolve any problems arising out of the breakdown of your marriage or relationship in a sensitive
manner. We attempt to make the procedure of divorce as straight forward and as swift as possible and to minimise acrimony in what are obviously difficult circumstances. If you and your partner have children, we can help you to reach an agreement over the arrangements for them which are in the children’s best interests and having regard to their welfare. If you are having difficulty seeing them if necessary we can make an application to the Court for a Contact Order. We also suggest the use of Mediation wherever this is possible, and encourage couples to resolve disputes by negotiation both in relation to financial and children matters. We can help you with advice relating to finances – maintenance, property transfers and sales and debts. With our advice and negotiating skills our aim is to help you agree a financial settlement which is both realistic and fair and which will provide for you in the future. If you are setting up a home with your partner then in order to avoid many of the problems which could arise in the future should you separate, we can draw up a cohabitation agreement which records your intentions about how any assets should be divided in the unfortunate scenario of the relationship ending. Should you have suffered from domestic violence (which could be either physical, sexual or psychological) we will discuss with you how best you may be protected. We always respond quickly in cases of an urgent nature, and if necessary an immediate application to the Court can be made for a Non-Molestation and Occupation Order. If Social Services have been involved we can help to guide you through the Child Protection procedure including cases where Court proceedings have been commenced, having regard to the fact that the children’s welfare is paramount. We have solicitors who are members of Resolution and also the Law Society Advanced Family Law Panel. As such we are dedicated to helping you in as constructive, sympathetic and cost-effective manner as possible. To find information on the court you are attending, click the link below.
