Our family law services in Grantham
Divorce and separation
Even in the most seemingly amicable divorces and separations, there are likely to be challenges to overcome. The key to dealing with these challenges often centres around finding the right team of legal experts to support you.
Our divorce and separation solicitors in Grantham are here to guide you through your divorce or separation with as little disruption as possible, allowing you to look ahead to the next chapter of your life with confidence.
Arrangements for children
We understand that, in every scenario, your children will be your first priority. Our team know that making arrangements for your children in the wake of a divorce or separation can be very difficult.
We understand that child arrangements can prove to be an emotionally fraught affair, which is why we will always remain sensitive when providing legal support.
Our child law experts in Grantham will strive to ensure that any arrangements you make are in the best interests of your children, intervening to diffuse any conflict where required.
Financial settlements
Financial settlements can often prove to be one of the most contentious aspects of a divorce or separation. The main objective of any financial settlement will be to achieve a fair outcome, but what is considered to be ‘fair’ is likely to vary between both parties, which can lead to conflict.
Our divorce and financial settlement solicitors in Grantham use their expertise to help couples to negotiate an amicable agreement or, where it is necessary to do so, issue proceedings through the Court.
Cohabitation Agreements
It is increasingly common for couples to live together, or cohabit, without being married. However, contrary to popular belief, there is no such thing as a ‘common law marriage’, which means that cohabiting couples do not have the same legal rights as their married counterparts.
This can create various complications if a cohabiting couple separates. To help overcome this, cohabiting couples have the option of creating a Cohabitation Agreement, which sets out what will happen in the event of a future separation. Our Grantham team can provide support with this as well as any other related issues.
Pre and post-nuptial agreements
While not the most romantic prospect, creating a pre-nuptial or post-nuptial agreement is likely to be a sensible step. A well-thought-out agreement will help to ensure that your future is financially secure no matter what happens.
Our family law solicitors in Grantham can work with you to create a pre-nuptial or post-nuptial agreement, or review an agreement made by your partner, to confirm that your interests are protected and every eventuality is catered for.
Civil partnership dissolution
Much like divorce and separation, civil partnership dissolution can be distressing, time-consuming and emotionally draining.
Our Grantham family solicitors have specialist expertise in handling civil partnership dissolutions and are well-placed to guide you through your personal situation.
Domestic abuse
If you are experiencing domestic abuse, we realise that you are going through a frightening and distressing time. Rest assured, our supportive and professional solicitors can help you to seek the support that you need.
If necessary, we are able to ask the court for an Injunction, for example, a Non-Molestation order, or an Occupational Order. A Non-Molestation order is intended to stop your abuser from being violent, harassing, intimidating, threatening, or approaching you. An Occupation Order is used when you live with the perpetrator of abuse. The Order can prevent them from continuing to live in your shared property.
If you or someone you know needs help, please get in touch with our domestic violence solicitors today.
Change of Name Deeds
Our Grantham family solicitors can help you change your name or your child’s name, no matter your reason for doing so. If the name change is on behalf of someone under 18 years of age, then we will need the consent of all those holding parental responsibility. If you foresee this being an issue, We can help you to request this and take legal steps to pursue the permissions.
Grandparents rights
Occasionally, particularly in the event of a family breakdown, grandparents face difficulties seeing their grandchildren. In such circumstances, these people need to know how they can continue to have a relationship with their grandchildren.
Grandparents do not have automatic rights to contact their grandchildren. However, the Court recognises the importance of the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren, and applications can be made to the Court if necessary.
Our team of family law solicitors in Grantham can help grandparents to establish contact with their grandchildren. We can also provide support for grandparents who are applying for Special Guardianship Orders.
For more information about grandparents rights, please contact our specialists at Chattertons today.
