Frequently asked questions.
How much will it cost to get a divorce lawyer in Derby?
At Cartwright King, we proudly offer transparent fixed fees for legal advice from our family law solicitors.
Who gets custody of children in a divorce?
Ideally, children have a meaningful relationship with both parents. For this reason, the court does not award custody to one parent or the other.
Ideally, parents will need to come to an agreement on matters, such as where the child will live, how each parent will financially support the child and the amount of contact each parent will have with the child.
Will I have to pay maintenance to my ex-spouse?
Both parties will need to provide evidence of their income, as well as a list of their anticipated outgoings to determine who, if anyone, needs to pay spousal maintenance.
Will I have to split my pension in a divorce?
Pensions earned during marriages are regarded as a joint asset. Therefore, its value can be split in a divorce. However, it must be noted that there is no legal obligation to automatically share a pension in a divorce.
Do you offer fixed-fee services for no-fault divorce?
We are proud to also offer fixed-fee services for anyone looking to divorce and end their marriage.
What rights do grandparents have regarding children in a divorce?
Whilst grandparents have limited rights when it comes to contact with their grandchildren, family courts recognise the vital role that grandparents play. We can help you apply for a Contact Order if you have been denied access to your grandchildren.
