Druitts Family Service

We understand that the breakdown of any relationship whether it be a married or co-habiting couple can be traumatic often leading to disputes regarding children and financial assets. We offer a sympathetic, friendly service and can guide you through this difficult time in your life providing practical and cost effective solutions.

Divorce
We can offer advice on whether you have grounds for issuing divorce proceedings, explain the procedure in simple language avoiding the use of legal jargon and we can advise on how long it would take to finalise any divorce.

Separation Agreements
We can advise you on this alternative to divorce proceedings.

Financial Matters
We can help you reach a fair agreement on how financial assets should be divided and if agreement cannot be reached we can guide you through the necessary court process

Co-habitation
One in every six couples in England and Wales are living together but not married. Statistics show that there is a higher rate of break-up amongst non-married co-habiting couples than amongst married couples. We can draft a Co-habitation Agreement for you setting out how any property is owned, who contributed what to the purchase price and how any profit should be divided in a future sale. A Co-habitation Agreement can also cover matters like savings, investments and even pets.

We can also advise you of your rights if you have been co-habiting and the relationship then breaks down and you cannot reach agreement on how to split the financial assets in the absence of a Co-habitation Agreement.

Initial free consultations are available to assess your situation and advise you generally on what action you should be taking.

We offer fixed fee divorces
