Separation

Separation agreements are helpful for:

• Married couples who want to separate, but do not yet want to divorce
• Unmarried couples with children or joint assets, who want to separate

The agreement sets out how to divide your finances, who the children will live with, and what happens to any jointly-owned property.

We’ll help you negotiate with your ex-partner to find a fair settlement, which clarifies how you’ll deal with your assets and responsibilities going forward.

Our senior solicior Derek Parsons (left) helped a client navigate their separation, here is what client Gaylynn had to say:

"I had my first meeting with Derek Parsons yesterday, I was very nervous but he immediately made me feel at ease.
Derek was supportive, very clear and answered all my questions in a way that I, as a lay person, could understand. He helped me to think of scenarios I would never have thought about, and as the meeting continued. I felt my confidence grow.
Derek had humour too, which also helped me to feel comfortable chatting with him."
