When children are caught up in the breakdown of a relationship or marriage, a divorce or separation case can become increasingly complex. However, our family solicitors can help you take on the emotionally challenging cases of child law. We can guide you through custody battles and Child Arrangement Orders, supporting child care solicitors where necessary to advise you with Adoption Orders and Special Guardianship Orders if need be.

Child Care Proceedings

If a child’s care is deemed unsatisfactory or the local authority social services department is concerned over your child’s wellbeing, child care proceedings will be implemented. If you and your partner are separated or in the process of separating, these proceedings can be difficult to negotiate. In these instances, our family law solicitors can advise you on the best course of action.

Divorce

When a couple files for a divorce, there are suddenly lots of decisions to be made, while emotions are running high. When people have built a life together, there is inevitably a lot of undoing that needs to be done. Having a professional family law solicitor with you, allows you to receive rational advice that best protects your best interests.

Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements

Prenuptial (prenups) agreements allow couples that are to be married to put a plan in place that protects their individual assets, should the marriage break down in the future. Similarly, postnuptial agreements do the same once the couple is married. Our family solicitors can provide legal assistance in creating both prenuptial and postnuptial agreements for couples in Manchester.

Financial Agreements and Settlements

Filing for a divorce is just the first step of the process. Once a divorce has been approved in line with the Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act 2020, it is time to consider your future financial security. Over the course of a marriage, both parties build up matrimonial assets that now need to be untangled. At Cartwright King, our family solicitors can offer their advice and expertise in negotiating financial agreements and settlements. These discussions can cover anything from property assets, shares and savings to pensions, international assets and debt liabilities.

Civil Partnership Dissolution

If you are looking to end a civil partnership, our family solicitors can help you submit your Dissolution Order to the court. As long as your reasons are in line with the Civil Partnership Act 2004, a court will feel able to approve your dissolution. Whether you have had an amicable separation or not, our solicitors are able to support you throughout this process.

Domestic Abuse

If you need a family law solicitor for reasons associated with domestic abuse, our priority is guaranteeing your and your family’s safety. Contacting a family solicitor is a huge step, and now the process can begin to provide you with the injunctions and non-molestation orders you need to maintain your safety. We can offer confidential and sympathetic advice, helping you to go to file for a divorce as well as making child care arrangements.
