Divorce

The divorce process under the English family law is a paper exercise that results in a decree of divorce. The divorce process is not expensive and can be completed relatively quickly for cases where both parties cooperate. You can get in touch with several divorce lawyers in London and solve disputes accordingly.

Time estimates: You have to wait six weeks between Decree Nisi, court order coming to force in the near future, and Decree Absolute, the ending of the marriage. However, if there are any outstanding financial issues, the decree absolute may get delayed.

What is the financial division in divorce?

Whatever the value of assets involved, our family law solicitors in Harrow always promote the settlement following voluntary disclosure and negotiations wherever possible. We can alternatively support mediation or act on a collaborative basis. If court proceedings are required, we will represent you thoughtfully and diligently.

The court has a wide discretion to redistribute income and assets on marriage breakdown so it is never possible to predict the award a court would order. To reduce costs and conflicts, it is vital that the issues are narrowed as much as possible, we adopt a constructive approach and sought for a compromise. Neither do we foster false hope or unrealistic expectation, nor do we shy away from giving honest advice even when it is unpalatable.

We feel that parents should consider trying to resolve any differences by constructive dialogue directly, via solicitors or in mediation. Our family solicitors in London acknowledge that it is not always possible and we are there to advise, support mediation, or take legal action as you require.

What is mediation?

When relationships breakdown, it is often difficult for separating couples to talk to each other. Here at aston brooke, we offer mediation, which is a service to help couples who have decided to separate or divorce. We help them communicate with each other and work out mutually acceptable arrangements.

Some of these agreements are centered for the children, property, finances and other matters. A mediated settlement is much more likely to be workable and is quicker and cheaper than going to court.

How can mediation help you?

If children are involved, it is particularly important for parents and family members to cooperate with each other to clarify issues. This would help couples reach a solution which is both fair and workable, thereby causing the minimum amount of conflict or stress. We can also help with financial settlements following a relationship breakdown.

What is the role of our mediators?

During the sessions, both of you will be encouraged to contribute equally to the discussions. A mediator will not take sides or make decisions on your behalf but will gather information and help you formulate the best outcome for all concerned. Mediation is not a reconciliation service and no attempt is made by the mediator to encourage you to rethink your decision to separate.

How long?

The length of time which is needed to reach a possible solution will depend on the individuals and their problems. Our divorce lawyer in harrow takes two to six sessions with each session lasting for about an hour and a half.

What are prenuptial and civil partnership agreements?

In order to protect your respective financial positions, you may wish to consider entering into a Prenuptial or Civil Partnership Agreement prior to entering into a marriage or civil partnership. Such an Agreement will cover the assets and items that are in the ownership of the parties’ prior to entering into the marriage or Civil Partnership and any assets acquired during the relationship. The agreement specially deals with how such assets and items will be distributed if your relationship ends and how you separate them in the future.

Aston Brooke has a wealth of experience in drafting such Agreements, giving you the best chance of financial protection in the event of the breakdown of your relationship or divorce. At the very least, we would recommend that you speak to us about a Deed of Trust on how to hold your property if it was not jointly owned or purchased. We are family law firms in London who assign divorce solicitors in Harrow to assist you through prenuptial and civil partnership agreements.

Cases with respect to injunctions and domestic abuse

There is a protection available through the Family and County Courts with respect of violence or threats of violence against spouses, partners or children. The law makes provision for an injunction against the party causing harm. There is ability, based on the evidence presented, to make an application to the Court without the other party attending in the first instance. The Judge will make a decision based on the statement of the person who is in need and brought the application to Court. The likelihood is that another Hearing will be set for a future date when the alleged aggressor will need to attend to put forward why an Order against them should not be made.

We can advise you as to the best course of action to protect yourself and your family in such circumstances and the likelihood of successfully obtaining a Non-Molestation Order or Occupation Order in order to protect your family and the family home.

We understand that discussions of this nature are personal and distressing to all parties involved. Divorce solicitors in Harrow offer a friendly, empathetic ear and will provide you with a common-sense approach to the options that are available to you.
