Solicitor for Divorce and Separation

When going through a separation or divorce, the earlier you seek legal advice, the easier it will be to determine the level of support you require. Although we recommend speaking to a trusted solicitor in all cases, in some matters, seeking the appropriate advice is essential, including:

• If your ex-partner is denying you access to your children.
• If you are financially vulnerable compared to your ex-partner.
• If you have a significant number of assets.
• If you are unsure about a fair settlement.
• If you are at risk of homelessness or domestic violence.

Ensuring that the solicitor you instruct is trustworthy, knowledgeable, and reputable is essential when separating or divorcing.

No Fault Divorce Lawyer Hampshire

In April 2022, divorce law in the UK was reformed due to the introduction of No-Fault Divorce via the Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act 2020. Essentially, this reform removed the necessity to assign blame during the divorce process, resulting in a more amicable process overall.

No-fault divorce enables couples to initiate divorce proceedings jointly without having to provide a specific reason for the divorce other than that the relationship has ‘irretrievably’ broken down.

In addition, it is no longer possible to contest a divorce, and the language used has been simplified for accessibility purposes.

At Bookers & Bolton, our team actively embraced these legislative updates as it promotes more amicable proceedings, having removed the requirement to place blame.

Hampshire Separation and Divorce Solicitors

Even with the assistance of reformed laws, very few divorces are ever straightforward, so instructing an experienced and reliable solicitor will be a priority to prevent expensive, time-consuming and unproductive proceedings.

The team at Bookers & Bolton works according to Resolution’s Code of Practice, which promotes a constructive negotiation process to resolve disputes.

Lawyer for Separation Agreements

It might be suitable for you and your spouse to separate without divorcing. If this applies to you, you should consider creating and implementing a separation agreement, which can be implemented formally or informally.
