Speak with our Woking family law solicitors

When you're looking for legal advice on arrangements for your children, we take a proactive approach on all the relevant issues - be it child contact, residence, maintenance or anything in between. We aim to get you the best possible outcome in terms of cost and common sense, while never losing sight of what matters most: the welfare of your child.

We take pride in forming close bonds with our clients and keeping the lines of communication wide open throughout the whole process. Our expertise means we can draft Child Arrangements Orders that are crystal clear, and spell out exactly what's what - from who the child lives with, to who gets the bigger share of school holidays, and how you'll keep in touch when you can't be there in person. We work with you to create a stable, clear future for your kids.

Our specialist team of family lawyers is prepared to assist you in arranging a comprehensive financial settlement, regardless of the complexity of your assets. We believe every situation demands a unique approach, and we work diligently to secure the right financial outcome for you and your children.

Financial considerations encompass all significant assets and obligations. These include capital such as your family home, savings, and investments, as well as pensions, business assets, or assets held in trusts. We also factor in inheritance, current income, and all outstanding liabilities. To address these financial issues effectively, we meticulously evaluate and employ a wide range of strategic negotiation and resolution methods.

While no couple plans for separation, if you are cohabiting without being married or in a civil partnership, you need protection should the relationship end. Our Cohabitation Agreement lawyers help you establish a clear, transparent contract up front.

This preventative legal step saves significant time, money, and stress if the relationship breaks down later. The resulting document clearly defines ownership and financial arrangements, proactively preventing future disputes and offering valuable peace of mind to both partners.

Our team of family solicitors can handle all aspects of separation and Civil Partnership Dissolution. We recognise the challenges that arise when a relationship ends, and our lawyers collaborate closely with clients to guarantee the most favourable outcomes. This involves expertly structuring both the financial agreements and the arrangements for any children involved.

Our core focus is always on delivering constructive solutions that effectively save you money, time, and unnecessary emotional stress throughout the process.

Couples often use our planning tools to establish financial certainty for the future. A pre- or post-nuptial agreement clearly dictates how assets would be divided if the marriage or civil partnership were to break down, offering crucial peace of mind.

These documents are often sought to protect inherited or family wealth where one partner has significantly more assets. They are also vital for second marriages, allowing both parties to actively preserve a portion of their estate specifically for children from previous relationships.

If a relationship breaks down and you face allegations of assault, threats, or harassment, our family lawyers can act swiftly to apply for court protection. We seek injunctions under the Family Law Act. These are formal court orders that strictly prohibit an individual from committing specified harmful actions. This legal measure provides an essential barrier to safety and is frequently necessary when one party's behaviour threatens the other's well-being during a contentious separation.
