Our approach to Legal Separation:
Where is it not possible for a couple to reconcile, we encourage clients to address the separation terms through counselling, leading to non-binding heads of agreement. These are then brought to the couples’ respective solicitors and can provide the basis for a legal or separation agreement.
This approach can have significant advantages for clients in that costs are reduced, and emotions contained.
Moreover, a separation agreement concluded on that basis has a greater chance of success, especially where children are involved.
Where it isn’t possible to adopt the above approach, this firm is happy to negotiate the terms of separation with the other party’s solicitor.
