When a relationship breaks down, the thought of going to court to protect your interests can be overwhelming. The fear that matters will be contentious and that court proceedings will be the only option may even affect your decision to pursue a divorce or the dissolution of a civil partnership. However, it's important to understand that going to court is not the only way to resolve matters regarding finances, child arrangements or practical decisions for your separation.
In recent decades, cohabiting has become a normal part of life. For many couples, moving in together is a natural way to build a life together without rushing into marriage or a civil partnership, and may be a decision that fits your finances, work and plans for the future.
Ending a marriage is usually an emotional and complicated time, but it doesn't have to be full of disagreements or a long, hostile court battle. Collaborative divorce is a voluntary process where ex-partners who are seeking a divorce work together to resolve disputes and reach an agreement on matters like financial planning and family issues.
If you signed a prenuptial agreement before you got married, you might be wondering if it still has legal standing, even if it no longer reflects your life today. If your finances have changed, or you have bought property, built up a business or taken on new financial responsibilities since the prenup was agreed, you may wonder whether it’s possible to change it to account for these new circumstances.
