At Godsons specific legal areas we cover include:
- Divorce and separation
- Pre nuptial agreements
- Cohabitation agreements
- Civil partnerships
- Unmarried partners
- Financial settlements
- Children matters
Going through a divorce or separation can be stressful and confusing for all the family, especially if children are involved. It can be very useful to seek advice from a solicitor who specialises in family law to guide you through this complex area and help you at such an emotional time.
We aim to ensure that your matter is dealt with in a sensitive, constructive and cost effective manner and hopefully prevent the need to go to court by using mediation or collaborative law processes instead.
Prenuptial and cohabitation agreements enable couples to make informed choices and joint decisions on an amicable basis. This avoids any possible conflict and misunderstandings arising in the future.
If you and your partner are living together or intend to live together, we can draft a cohabitation agreement that covers the financial and property aspects and how the assets would be divided in the event of the relationship ending. Contact and maintenance for children can also be included.

New family legislation permits couples of the same sex to form registered civil partnerships, giving them a new legal status. We can assist couples with regards to such partnerships which, subject to key differences, will place them on the same footing as married couples.
We can help clients to amicably negotiate a resolution to their financial disputes. If court proceedings are issued, we can help clients through this complex and painful process to conclusion
