Specialist Civil Partnership Dissolution Lawyers

Blake Morgan’s team of expert Family lawyers provide advice on the dissolution of civil partnerships and related financial orders. We also advise and represent civil partners in cases of disputed arrangements for children.

We advise and represent clients through the process of preparing and analysing financial disclosure in proceedings for the dissolution of a civil partnership. We then negotiate the terms of an agreed financial order to be filed with the Family Court or, if necessary, advise and represent our clients in formal proceedings in the Family Court.

We are widely recognised for our knowledgeable, constructive and pragmatic approach to negotiation. We are proud to offer Non-Court Dispute Resolution methods to clients including Mediation and Collaborative Law.

Highlights

Acting for a client where most of the wealth, including a country mansion, valuable works of art and a vintage Rolls-Royce were mostly contributed by our client's ex-spouse. We provided advice for her to achieve a fair share of the family money in challenging circumstances.


Acting for a client with international assets in his divorce and his financial remedy negotiations, allowing him to safeguard family money advanced to the couple in lieu of inheritance. We achieved a clean break for him and preserved his pension provision. By achieving this constructively and by providing advice in the background to mediation saved the client significant cost and meant that the parties could communicate with one another regarding their children.


Frequently acting for cases involving business assets, pensions, international elements and trusts, inheritance and pre-acquired property. A recent case including acting for a client in court proceedings leading to him successfully retaining the family business, his SSAS pension scheme and paying a term maintenance order to his wife.
