Some of the issues you may face when
separating
When facing separation or divorce the right legal
advice is essential. Family law is complex and what is right for one
family, may not be right for another.
Many people separate, and then start divorce proceedings.
Many people seek advice
initially to get some idea of what they may
face, separate physically and then divorce. What
you decide about living arrangements for your
children when you first separate is especially
important as what you agree to initially sets a
bit of a benchmark as to what is acceptable to
you.
Similarly, if you scrape by
for a few months on little income, and then
decide that it is all a bit unfair financially,
it may not be worthwhile in terms of legal costs
trying to then ask for more income by way of
maintenance in the short term. If you are
separating or divorcing and have children, you
will find it helpful to visit our children
pages.
If you are worried about
money, or housing and are married, you will find
it helpful to visit our finance pages.
If you are living together,
and are separating, you will find it helpful to
visit our cohabitation pages. You will find
answers to some commonly asked questions in our
Frequently Asked Questions page.
“Advice” from friends and
family is well meaning, and you need their
support, but the information they can give often
relates to circumstances which are different to
your own and can give you false expectations and
mislead you, unintentionally.
It is important to get the
right legal advice to help you sort out the best
way forward for you and your family, in the most
cost-effective way
