We know that a divorce or separation can have a tremendous impact on children. If you are in the process of separating or getting divorced, and you have children, you will need to consider any arrangements for them.

This includes child maintenance and child custody agreements, now called child arrangements agreements. They cover anything else needed to settle the children’s arrangements and offer expert legal advice.

Unmarried Couples and Cohabitation

If you are not married and live with a partner, you can protect your assets. You can do this by creating a cohabitation agreement. This agreement outlines what each party is entitled to if the relationship should fail.

Our Sheffield family law solicitors can help you during an unmarried separation without a cohabitation agreement. We can assist with finances, assets, and children matters.

Prenuptial Agreements & Postnuptial Agreements

Before getting married you can protect your assets and finances by drawing up a prenuptial agreement. This is an agreement made by a couple before they marry concerning the ownership of their assets if the marriage should fail.
