Frequently Asked Questions
What can I do if my spouse refuses to agree to a divorce?
In the UK, the no-fault divorce law allows you to proceed with a divorce without needing your spouse’s consent. You simply need to provide a statement that the marriage has irretrievably broken down, and the divorce process can move forward.
How is child custody decided in the UK?
UK courts prioritize the welfare of the child. Decisions on custody (called “child arrangements”) are based on what is in the best interests of the child, not the preferences of either parent. The court aims to encourage both parents to remain involved in the child’s life unless there are safety concerns.
Will my personal information be kept confidential?
Absolutely. All your personal information and case details are handled with strict confidentiality. Your privacy is a priority in all communications and legal matters.
Can I change a child custody agreement after it’s been finalized?
Yes, custody agreements can be modified if there is a significant change in circumstances, such as a change in living conditions, a new job, or concerns about the child’s welfare. We can help you apply for a modification of the existing agreement.
How are financial settlements decided during a divorce?
Financial settlements are determined based on several factors, including each party’s income, assets, and contributions to the marriage. Our solicitors will work with you to secure a fair settlement.
Do I have to go to court for my family law case?
Not necessarily. Many family law matters can be settled out of court through mediation or negotiation. However, if an agreement cannot be reached, we will represent you in court to ensure the best outcome for your case.
What if my spouse refuses to pay child support?
If your spouse refuses to pay child support, we can take legal action to enforce the payment. The court can issue orders to ensure that child support is paid in a timely manner.
What are my options if my spouse doesn’t agree to a divorce?
Even if your spouse contests the divorce, you can still proceed with legal action. Our solicitors can help you navigate contested divorces and ensure your rights are protected throughout the process.
Can I get full custody of my children?
Custody decisions are made based on the best interests of the children. While the court generally encourages shared custody, in certain cases, full custody may be awarded if it is deemed the best option for the child’s welfare.
How long does a typical family law case take?
The duration of a family law case depends on the complexity of the matter. Simple divorce cases might take a few months, while more complicated cases involving child custody or financial settlements can take longer.
