Best Family Law Practitioners in Brighton

Dependent on the circumstances of your case, social services may decide to bring a court case. This includes applying for an interim care order, where a child may be taken into care on a temporary basis for up to eight weeks. This may only be made if the court is of the view that the child is at risk of harm. By harm, this may mean concerns about neglect, or concerns that the child is being abused.

A financial settlement is an agreement designed to sort out any financial issues and fairly separate your assets once the marriage is over. It can include money (savings, investments and life insurance policies) to property, such as the family home, or personal items. Our solicitors can give you more information upon consultation.

Various factors will be considered when determining how assets and finances are divided and are dependent on the needs of each party. Considerations for a financial settlement are influenced by non-financial contributions too. This may include raising children or taking care of the home. We can clarify information relating to the division of finances, as this can often be a particularly complicated issue that requires a third party.

All children and stepchildren under the age of 18 will be considered as part of a financial settlement. We work to prioritise the wellbeing of children involved whilst considering all other issues raised in the settlement.
