Have a look at our informative legal guides to help you feel prepared.
Asking your fiancé about getting a prenup could be a difficult conversation, so knowing the right way to handle it is key.
Relationship advice
When entering a marriage or civil partnership, you may consider a prenuptial agreement; a document declaring how assets will be split between the couple should the marriage eventually end in divorce.
When you’re considering making a will, there are three main options available to you: write your own, use a solicitor, or employ a will-writing service.
Drafting a will
Joint wills are a way for couples with similar wishes to execute a will that benefits each other, should one partner pass away.
There’s no wrong time to start making your will. If you’re over 18 and want to make sure your money and assets go to the right people, there’s little stopping you writing a will. It’s a case of the sooner, the better.
Getting custody of your child after a divorce need not be a zero-sum game. By compromising with your ex-partner, you can both continue to share responsibility for your child.
Children advice Divorce
When parents split up, it’s common for their children to live for part of the time with each parent. This is often referred to as shared custody, although the modern term is ‘shared residence’.
Children advice
Family mediation is an effective way of resolving divorce disputes between you and your ex-partner without the need for expensive legal costs.
Breakup advice Divorce
Arranging contact with your children after a divorce is essential. How you come to this agreement will depend upon the state of your relationship with your ex-spouse, as well as with your children.
Making a prenup with your future spouse may feel uncomfortable. But protecting your assets in advance can help you both avoid more heartache if you decide to separate in the future.
