How we can help you with your divorce

Initiating divorce proceedings

We can help you prepare and submit your divorce application, ensuring all of the details are filled out correctly and that there are no mistakes or other issues that could hold up the divorce process.

Our divorce solicitors can advise you on the most suitable process for you to ensure your application will be accepted by a court while minimising the chances of delay.

Responding to divorce proceedings

If your spouse has initiated divorce proceedings, we can advise you on preparing your acknowledgment of service.

Joint applications

Under the current No Fault Divorce law, you can make a joint divorce application together with your spouse. If you and your spouse are amicable and wish to apply for a divorce jointly, we can represent the both of you.

How we can help you with the financial side of divorce

Financial Remedy Orders by Consent

In most cases, our divorce solicitors in Hammersmith can help you to agree a financial settlement with your ex-spouse through solicitor negotiations. They will also suggest that you try mediation and other forms of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) methods, such as Arbitration and Private FDR’s.

This approach typically allows you to resolve the financial aspects of your divorce faster and at a lower cost, while helping to keep things more amicable.

Financial Remedy proceedings at Court

Where you cannot agree a financial settlement by agreement, or feel this approach is not appropriate, we can represent you in divorce court proceedings to help you secure a financial order.

We have extensive experience dealing with complex assets, such as company and business interests, pensions, overseas assets, shares and investments, so can ensure your case is prepared and presented effectively to help you secure the best available outcome.

Interpretation of pre-nuptial agreements

An increasing number of couples now enter into pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements. Although pre-nuptial or post-nuptial agreements are not fully legally binding, they will have an impact on the financial settlement on divorce.

Our divorce solicitors regularly advise clients on the interpretation of pre-nuptial agreements and post-nuptial agreements, so we will be happy to guide you through relying on or challenging either type of agreement during divorce proceedings.
