New relationships

Cohabitation

Under the law, unmarried couples who live together do not share the same legal rights as those who marry. We can draft a cohabitation agreement so that you are protected as far as is possible if your relationship comes to an end.

Prenuptial agreements

With a prenuptial agreement, you and your partner can marry with the assurance that you’ll both understand your positions if your relationship was to end in the future. Whilst not yet legally binding, these separation agreements can be relied upon in terms of what was intended.

Change of name

Whether it’s changing your legal name following divorce or legally changing the name of a child, we can help you achieve this with the least difficulty.

Domestic abuse

Domestic abuse, whether physical or psychological, is unacceptable in any relationship. We work quickly to understand your unique situation and make your safety our priority.

Our family law legal experts provide sympathetic but practical advice, explaining your options and helping you put an end to domestic abuse.

Our domestic violence page provides further information on the effects of domestic abuse and the options available to you, alternatively contact the team today.
