Cohabitation agreements
Cohabitation does not provide you with the same level of legal protection as marriage. If disagreements arise around financial assets or children, a legally binding cohabitation agreement can help keep the peace.
Pre and post-nuptial agreements
No one goes into a marriage thinking that it won’t work out, but unfortunately it’s the sad reality that more than one in three marriages end in divorce. A prenuptial agreement can be a simple but effective way to safeguard your interests should your marriage breakdown.
Injunctions and emergency remedies
On some occasions the best way to protect yourself or your loved ones against unwanted access to your information or finances is to apply for an injunction. Our team are well placed to issue court proceedings in an emergency.
Bitcoins in divorce
From Bitcoin to Ethereum, managing the division of cryptocurrencies in a divorce is understandably very complicated – and even more so if you think your spouse may be hiding their digital assets from you.
Funding a family law case
Concerns about money can result in nothing being done, which in the long term can become more costly. When there are issues to resolve within a family, concerns about how legal fees can be paid shouldn't stop you from ensuring peace of mind.
