Specialist Separation Advice from Jordan Williams Law Ltd.

Separating from your partner may be one of the hardest decisions you ever make and there are a lot of practical and legal issues to think about. Separation raises issues surrounding money and family. For a smooth separtion these issues need to be handled carefully.

Financial Issues

How will you stretch finances that supported one household to support two? Can you get help with tax credits? You may be able to get assistance with housing and council tax. Your local CAB will be able to give you excellent benefits advice. For professional legal advice contact our divorce lawyers David, Toni or Sarah for a free initial consultation.

Children

Tthe law in relation to children is centred on the rights of the children. Children have a right to a relationship with both parents. Unless there are special circumstances where it would not be in their interest, it is generally accepted that children benefit from keeping a relationship with a parent who does not live with them. Decisions affecting children can be particularly difficult and you will need to think about how children can spend time with both parents. What if one parent has a new partner? If you and your former partner find it difficult to talk to each other about this, then perhaps mediation would help. There are many resources available to give general advice and some of these can be found on the Resolution website.
