With 2 out of 5 marriages in the UK now ending in divorce, people often believe it is a quick and easy process. There must, however, be a legitimate legal reason to petition for divorce.
Individual needs can often involve any number of additional legal issues and our experts are sensitive and understanding, while being pragmatic as to what you can expect.
Whatever your circumstances are, our team is committed to the Code of Practice of Resolution. Under the Code of Practice we will advise, negotiate and conduct matters so as to encourage and assist the parties to achieve a constructive settlement as amicably as possible. We recognise that you need time to come to terms with your new situation.
We have the skills and experience to discuss and assess individual circumstances. Unreasonable behaviour is open to personal interpretation and it is for this reason that professional advice should be sought.
Increasingly couples are opting to enter into a Pre-nuptial Agreement and although not legally binding the Court can take this into account upon marriage breakdown. At Forshaws Davies Ridgway we can assist with the writing of such an agreement, if requested.
