Our divorce law services in Wimbledon

We offer an empathetic but practical approach to resolving the legal issues around divorce. Our divorce solicitors can guide you through every aspect of the process of legally ending your relationship and making all of the arrangements you need to plan your future.

Divorce petitions

If you need to start divorce proceedings or respond to divorce proceedings started by your spouse, we can ensure you take all of the right steps to ensure the process moves ahead smoothly and that your stay legally protected. A key point we can help you with is ensuring that the grounds for divorce cited in the petition are sufficient to satisfy the courts but do not cause unnecessary conflict with your ex.

Divorce settlements

Our divorce solicitors are highly experienced at helping separating couples to agree amicable financial settlements that provide for both parties’ needs. We can help you agree everything from how joint assets will be divided, maintenance agreements for children and what, if any, maintenance one party will pay to the other. Our goal is to help you harmoniously agree a fair settlement that gives you both the security you need for the future.

Arrangements for children

In any divorce where there are children to consider, deciding where they will live and what contact each parent will have with them can be complicated with a lot of potential for conflict. By focusing on what is best for your children, we can help you come to an arrangement that protects your children’s best interests without compromising your rights as a parent.

Divorce mediation

Mediation is now the preferred method for arranging the details of most divorces. You will usually need to show that you have attended a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM) to consider mediation before being allowed to take your divorce to court.

The process involves both spouses meeting with a trained neutral mediator, normally over the course of around 3 sessions. The mediator will encourage you to talk through the issues you need to sort out in a non-confrontational way and help agree a mutually acceptable outcome.

Collaborative law for divorce

Collaborative law is the mostly commonly used alternative to mediation for divorce. Again, the aim is to help you agree a mutually acceptable outcome while keeping conflict to a minimum. This approach revolves around 4-way meetings between you, your spouse and your own individual lawyers, trained in collaborative law.

Collaborative law is often preferred by those with more complicated issues to sort out as it means you have your own legal representative with you during negotiations. This means you have expert legal advice on hand for any details you do not know how to handle and can give you reassurance that your interests are staying protected throughout the process.
