Avoid unnecessary conflict in divorce and family law
You may be worried about the arguments and disagreements that people often think come hand-in-hand with divorce and other family law issues.
We believe that it doesn’t have to be that way. Our goal is to remove any unnecessary conflict from family law at every opportunity. We focus on using non-confrontational approaches, such as using strategic negotiation and family law processes such as mediation and collaborative law, rather than diving straight into contentious court proceedings.
Not only does this remove a lot of the stress of going through a separation or sorting out emotional problems, but it also allows you to stay in control of the situation and your future (rather than putting decisions in the hands of a judge).
The extra benefit of this is that family law cases with us are often resolved faster and at a lower cost.

Co-habitation legal advice
Most couples co-habit nowadays, either before getting married or entering into a civil partnership or instead of tying the knot.
However, co-habiting couples do not have the same legal rights as married spouses and civil partners. If you break up, you have no legal rights to your partner’s income, property or other assets, even if you have lived together for many years.
So, it is vital to plan ahead. Our family lawyers in Wandsworth can advise co-habiting couples on all kinds of issues, including:
- Making a cohabitation agreement
- Buying property as an unmarried couple
- Separation for unmarried couples

Pre-nuptial agreements & post-nuptial agreements
Making a pre-nuptial agreement (‘pre-nup’) or post-nuptial agreement (‘post-nup’) is a practical way to protect your financial interests during marriage or civil partnership.
Whether you have inheritance you want to protect, a family business, or maintenance arrangements from a previous relationship, a pre-nup or post-nup can help you keep these separate from other matrimonial finances.
Our Wandsworth family lawyers can advise on:
