The breakdown of relationships can become even more complex when there are children involved. Our family law solicitors can help you tackle your emotionally challenging child law case. We can guide and support you through custody battles with Child Arrangement Orders, working with the child care team to instigate the necessary child care proceedings when Adoption Orders and Special Guardianship Orders are required. Our solicitors will advise any family member, helping to achieve the best possible outcome for the children and the family.

Child Care Proceedings

When there are concerns about a child’s level of care and wellbeing, child care proceedings are instigated by the local authority social services department. However, when relationships have broken down and couples have separated, these proceedings can become increasingly difficult to navigate. Our family law solicitors in Birmingham can help you come to an arrangement with the local authority and your previous partner, satisfying all safety concerns and putting your children’s welfare first.

Divorce

When marriages break down, there can be a lot of decisions to be made during a highly emotional time. Family law solicitors can help you stay rational in your settlement by offering honest and to-the-point advice. We are experienced in offering legal advice on all aspects of divorce, helping you to come to terms with arrangements of your separation. With couples no longer needing to attribute blame to their divorce, we can help keep your best interests at the forefront of your divorce regardless of your reasons to go your separate ways.

Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements

Our team of family solicitors in Birmingham can offer legal assistance in creating a prenuptial agreement and postnuptial agreement. Prenuptial agreement, or ‘prenup,’ is a document that details how assets will be divided should their upcoming marriage break down. Whereas, a postnuptial agreement is a similar agreement that is decided instead between an already married couple.

Financial Agreements and Settlements

After the breakdown of a relationship, it is common for people to feel concerned about their financial security. We can help you understand you disentangle your matrimonial assets, enabling you to understand your financial position clearly. Our specialist family solicitors can provide legal assistance and represent you during the discussion of financial agreements and settlements. These agreements can include anything from pensions, shares, savings and property rights to international assets and liabilities of pre-existing debts.

Civil Partnership Dissolution

Similar to obtaining a divorce, it is necessary to end civil partnerships with an application for a Dissolution Order. A court of law must approve this application, agreeing to ‘dissolving’ a partnership on the grounds it has broken down ‘irretrievably,’ as outlined in the Civil Partnership Act 2004.

Domestic Abuse

In family law matters that stem from domestic abuse, contacting a qualified solicitor is a momentous step. At Cartwright King, our domestic abuse solicitors will provide you with the sympathetic and confidential legal assistance you require, supporting you and your family through every stage of the process. Your protection is our priority and we will help arrange and carry out a plan of action for your escape, following this up with non-molestation orders and injunctions, as well as divorce and child care arrangements.
