Frequently Asked Questions
Why is legal representation important in divorce?
Legal representation ensures compliance with complex laws, protects financial and parental rights, and helps achieve fair outcomes in negotiations or court proceedings.
When to consult a specialist family lawyer in an international divorce?
Consultation is necessary when spouses live in different countries, cross-border assets are involved, or international custody disputes require specialist legal knowledge.
How do I draw up a prenuptial agreement?
You should approach a specialist family law solicitor to discuss with them what you want to achieve from the document and ask them to draw it up. A prenuptial agreement needs to be prepared and signed well in advance of the date of the wedding, ideally at least 28 days before.
What is the purpose of a cohabitation agreement?
A cohabitation agreement outlines financial and property arrangements for unmarried couples, ensuring clarity and protection in the event of separation.
Who has parental rights?
Birth mothers automatically have Parental Responsibility, whereas fathers do if they were married to the mother when the child was born, or the child was born after 1 December 2003 and they are named on the birth certificate. Unmarried fathers can also acquire Parental Responsibility via a Parental Responsibility Agreement or a Court Order.
