Southampton law firm with expert divorce lawyers
Southampton Divorce Lawyers
Our specialist team of divorce lawyers provide a tailored service during your divorce to remedy family and financial issues and achieve the best possible outcome for you. Our divorce lawyers are highly regarded and advise and act for clients all over England and Wales, as well as those living overseas.
Obtaining a divorce is not necessarily going to be straightforward, even if both parties agree that the marriage is over. Challenges often arise in agreeing the reasons for the separation, how and when to separate, where to live, what arrangements to make for children and the financial settlement.
Main Areas Of Practice
Our Southampton divorce lawyers are highly experienced in dealing with all types of permanent separation and the issues arising from it including:
Divorce
In most cases this is a straightforward process but it can be very complex. The timing of divorce proceedings can be important in tax considerations. Same-sex couples may also have particular considerations, including those arising out of civil partnerships. Our divorce lawyers will deal with the ending of your relationship, efficiently and sympathetically and take time to explain the process and options open to you.
Financial Orders
Our Southampton divorce lawyers advise and support on obtaining a financial Order whether through solicitor negotiation, mediation, collaborative law and, where necessary, Court proceedings. All our solicitors are trained in dealing with the complex, difficult and unusual, particularly with regard to business interests (including farms) and all types of pensions.
Divorces with overseas property or residency issues
The English Courts will deal with worldwide assets and our divorce lawyers have expertise in dealing with couples who live abroad but remain domiciled in England and Wales and have property here. Likewise, couples who are resident in England and Wales but have, often, significant investments and assets abroad.
Enforcement
Our Southampton divorce lawyers are trained and have expertise in serving Orders abroad and arranging enforcement, enforcing English Orders against English assets and looking at matters in a proactive and creative way.
Mediation
Although not the easiest of options, mediation can be an effective route to reaching a resolution, whilst avoiding Court. It can be used on straightforward and highly complex cases where significant wealth is involved.
