Financial arrangements
While divorce itself can be demanding, negotiating financial arrangements is often the most complex aspect. Our specialist Divorce Solicitors in Salisbury are highly experienced in helping clients achieve fair financial settlements with minimal additional strain. Wherever possible, we support clients in reaching voluntary agreements, allowing financial matters to be resolved without Court proceedings.
After an agreement has been reached regarding the division of assets, we can help you obtain a Consent Order to formalise the arrangement and make it legally binding.
Where required, we are also able to advise and represent you in Financial Dispute Resolution proceedings. Please contact us for further information.
Civil partnership dissolution
If you and your partner have chosen to bring your civil partnership to an end, our team can guide you through each stage of the dissolution process.
We understand the emotional impact this decision can have and will provide thoughtful, supportive advice throughout. In particular, we can assist with:
- Preparing and submitting a civil partnership dissolution application, or responding to an application made by your partner
- Progressing the dissolution, including applying for and obtaining a Conditional Order and Final Order
- Resolving related matters, such as negotiating and formalising a financial settlement
To find out how we can support you, please contact our Family Law Solicitors in Salisbury.
Children law & disputes
Legal issues concerning children are often the most sensitive and difficult to manage, particularly where disagreements arise. Our team provides measured, supportive advice designed to reduce conflict wherever possible.
If you are divorcing or dissolving a civil partnership and have children, our Divorce and Family Law Solicitors in Salisbury can help you establish suitable child arrangements, including decisions about where your children will live and how contact with each parent will take place.
We also provide advice and representation in matters including:
• Child abduction concerns and proceedings
• Special Guardianship Orders
• Children Act Schedule 1 Claims
• Parental responsibility
For further advice, please contact our Children Law Solicitors in Salisbury.
Prenuptial and post nuptial agreements
A prenuptial agreement is entered into before marriage and sets out how assets, property, and financial responsibilities would be dealt with if the relationship were to end in divorce.
A postnuptial agreement serves a similar purpose but is created after the marriage has taken place.
Our Family Solicitors in Salisbury can advise you on preparing a carefully drafted prenuptial or postnuptial agreement that reflects your circumstances and provides clarity for the future. Please contact our family law team for further details.
Cohabitation agreements
Couples who live together without marrying do not benefit from the same legal protections as spouses or civil partners. This can lead to uncertainty if the relationship later breaks down and financial matters need to be resolved.
Our experts in Salisbury can prepare a cohabitation agreement tailored to your situation, helping to safeguard your interests as an unmarried couple.
Such agreements define each partner’s rights and responsibilities, addressing issues such as property ownership, savings, and arrangements relating to children.
Non-Court Dispute Resolution
The prospect of attending Court can be daunting. In many cases, however, family law issues can be addressed through alternative dispute resolution, avoiding the need for formal Court proceedings.
We advise on a range of Non-Court Dispute Resolution options, including Family Mediation, collaborative law, and arbitration. Each approach has distinct advantages, and we will help you determine which is most appropriate for your circumstances.
Our Family Solicitors specialise in the Resolution Together approach, allowing divorcing couples to work with the same lawyer in an aim to meet shared goals. This is a practical approach designed to help you reach an amicable agreement that truly prioritises your shared interests.
Alternative dispute resolution can be particularly effective in resolving divorce-related issues, such as agreeing on financial arrangements. For more information, please contact our team today.
Domestic abuse
Experiencing domestic abuse can be overwhelming and distressing, and seeking legal advice may feel difficult. Our team approaches these matters with sensitivity and discretion, ensuring you feel supported at every stage.
Our family law specialists can assist you in obtaining Court Orders to protect you from further harm, including measures to prevent an individual from contacting you, approaching you, or remaining in the family home.
If you require urgent assistance, please contact our domestic abuse solicitors. We can act swiftly to secure appropriate legal protection where necessary.
Frequently asked questions about divorce and family law
What does a Family Law Solicitor do?

What is the process of getting a divorce?
To begin divorce proceedings, you must complete a divorce application (Form D8), confirming that the marriage has irretrievably broken down, and provide your marriage certificate.
Once the Court issues the application, there is a 20-week period before you can apply for a Conditional Order. This Order confirms that the Court sees no reason why the divorce cannot proceed. After receiving the Conditional Order, you must wait a further six weeks before applying for the Final Order, which legally ends the marriage.
Seeking advice from a Divorce Solicitor at an early stage is strongly recommended. They can guide you through each step, assist with financial settlement negotiations, and help ensure appropriate arrangements are made for any children involved.
