FAMily LAw Solicitors Brighton and Hove

Divorce is not the be all and end all of family law – but it is a large part. Family law covers everything from creating pre and postnuptial agreements, divorce, and even adoption and surrogacy. Our family law solicitors in Brighton and Hove know family matters can be emotional and are here to help. We offer a common sense and pro-active approach to family law to secure the best outcome for your situation.

Our expertise covers:

Child Law / More information

Whatever the outcome of your divorce, children should always be protected. Our family law solicitors can guide you through child law and your best options to resolve your situation. While child arrangements can be made formally or informally, informal arrangements risk your ex-partner modifying your agreement without your consent.

Cohabitation / More information

Not every couple chooses to marry and this can cause issues if you jointly own any assets and one person passes away, or have children together but choose to separate. Cohabitation agreements look to evidence your contributions to the relationship in the event of a breakdown. Our family law solicitors can advise on your circumstances.

Divorce and Separation / More information

Whether a friendly end to your marriage, or the most acrimonious of splits, our divorce solicitors will listen to your situation and give you objective advice. If divorce is how you would like to proceed, we will manage your divorce if required, or help you file for judicial separation. We look to protect your position, secure a fair settlement and minimise the fall out of the divorce on any children involved. We can also help in applying for child arrangement and financial consent orders.

Financial Settlements/ More information

Money is contentious and no more so than when splitting from your partner. Property, potential inheritances and shares all form finances and protecting or dividing these can be complicated. Our divorce solicitors offer expert advice on drawing up financial remedy consent orders and what to take into account.

Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements / More information

Useful if you are bringing a lot of wealth into a marriage, or you stand to inherit significant wealth, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements protect your assets in the event of divorce. Our family law solicitors can advise if nuptials are suitable for your needs.

Surrogacy and Adoption / More information

Families come in all shapes and sizes and nothing should stop you from having the family you deserve. Adoption and surrogacy can be long processes and it’s best to get legal advice early to avoid any delays. Whether you are a couple, same sex couple or individual looking for surrogacy or adoption, our family law solicitors can help.
