Our family solicitors can also provide support with clients who are going through a civil partnership dissolution, offering sensitive help at what can be a challenging time.

Financial settlements

Reaching a divorce financial settlement is not always easy, even where the situation is fairly amicable. At Stephen Rimmer, we have extensive experience helping clients reach a financial settlement, ensuring that the arrangement protects your interests.

We will attempt to help you reach a settlement without going to Court using alternative dispute resolution. If your situation warrants court processes, we can provide all the legal advice you’ll need and arrange representation.

Child arrangements

If you are getting a divorce or separating, we know that you will want to do everything you can to protect any children you have.

Determining child contact matters and where your child will live in the aftermath of a divorce is not easy, however, it is important to make decisions that best suit your child. At Stephen Rimmer, we can help you make child arrangements, negotiating with your ex-partner to determine the most suitable arrangement.

Where you are having issues deciding on child residency or child contact issues, or there are disputes, our family solicitors can help you apply for a Child Arrangement Order through the Court system if necessary.

Pre-nuptial, post-nuptial agreements

If you are planning to get married or enter into a civil partnership, it is advisable to enter into a prenuptial agreement or pre-civil partnership agreement.

These agreements are used to establish ownership of assets, including businesses, property, and so on, as well as liability for debts. The idea is to safeguard the rights of both parties and make asset ownership clear in the event of a divorce, potentially reducing financial disputes.

A postnuptial agreement is used for the same purpose; however, it is entered into after getting married instead of before.

Family Mediation

Family mediation is an alternative dispute resolution process used to resolve disputes between two or more parties. The process involves the support of a trained mediator who remains unbiased, yet supports the parties to express their views and negotiate towards a resolution.

Family mediation can be used to resolve all types of issues, including financial settlements and child arrangements.

Our family law team at Stephen Rimmer includes trained mediators who can help families resolve issues out of Court. If you would like more information, please contact us today.

Our flexible family law pricing

At Stephen Rimmer, we believe that you deserve top quality legal advice at a fair price. This is why we work hard to ensure that our prices remain competitive whilst also ensuring an outstanding legal service.

We are able to offer fixed fees for many types of family law work, where a price will be agreed upon in advance for handling a specific matter. Where this is not possible, we will tell you the hourly rates charged by everyone we expect to work on your case and give a realistic estimate of your likely overall costs.
