Separation and Divorce

Navigating Separation and Divorce: Compassionate Guidance with James Thornton Family Law.

Support Through Separation

Separation is a challenging period for all involved, but having the right guidance can ease the transition. Whether separating from a spouse, civil partner, or co-parent, critical decisions must be made regarding living arrangements, financial obligations, and the future well-being of children. At James Thornton Family Law, we provide compassionate support and sound advice to navigate these complexities.

Reaching Agreement on Key Issues

Reaching agreements on property division, financial matters, and childcare arrangements is essential. While there are no strict rules governing these agreements, prioritising workable arrangements is paramount. Instructing James Thornton Family Law and/or mediation can facilitate discussions, and if desired, agreements can be made legally binding through court applications. Additionally, considerations such as updating wills and notifying relevant authorities about changes in status should be addressed.

Understanding the Divorce Process

Divorce is a legal process that requires careful consideration and procedural adherence. Whether initiated by one or both partners, divorce proceedings involve filing court forms, and serving documents. While not all divorces necessitate court appearances, unresolved disagreements may require judicial intervention.

Comprehensive Legal Support

James Thornton Family Law offers comprehensive assistance across various family law matters, including divorce, financial settlements, children's issues, pre-nuptial agreements, and alternative dispute resolution. With expertise in complex financial cases, business structures, and inheritance disputes, we provide tailored advice and advocacy to protect your rights and foster amicable resolutions.
