Our expertise in family law
Armed forces divorce
Military pensions, overseas postings, and service housing are all unique considerations that impact the divorce processes of armed forces personnel, veterans, and their spouses. Divorce is often more complex and requires additional processes and patience to be completed fairly.
BakerLaw’s expert family solicitors in Farnborough can offer insights into how service-related benefits can affect child arrangements and financial settlements, taking care to ensure that any entitlements are accurately valued and protected.
We also regularly assist our clients with navigating the potential challenges that jurisdiction issues, deployments, and security restrictions could have on the divorce process. Whether you are responding to the separation or initiating it, our legal support provides security for you and your loved ones.
Children law
Child law involves a range of legal issues related to children and their welfare, such as parental responsibility, contact with parents, and living arrangements. Our child law solicitors in Farnborough offer a service to support parents, guardians, and extended family in securing their child’s best interests.
We regularly assist individuals with having respectful, non-confrontational conversations where both parties are invited to work together. Our skilled family solicitors can guide you through these discussions and manage the legal formalities while minimising cost and stress so that you can focus on preserving relationships.
Civil partnerships
Civil partnerships allow couples to enjoy certain partnership benefits without a traditional marriage. Whether you are looking to enter into or dissolve a civil partnership, a family law solicitor in Farnborough can help you with the process and formal steps.
Our experts can help you to deal with financial planning, protection of assets, and the formation and dissolution processes. We will ensure that your property, finances, and children are protected and that you understand your rights and obligations.
Cohabitation
Cohabitation refers to partners who live together without being in a civil partnership or marriage. Unlike married couples, cohabiting couples do not automatically have legal rights, which is where a family law solicitor can help.
We can draft cohabitation agreements, clarify the ownership of property and assets, manage parenting issues and finances, and address any specific disputes you may face.
Our priority is always to resolve issues without court intervention; however, we can provide skilled representation where necessary, shielding you from costly misunderstandings and ensuring that your rights are respected.
Collaborative law
Collaborative law allows separating couples to reach a cooperative agreement without involving the court. This is a particularly important opportunity when it comes to finances and child arrangements, as it keeps costs and stress to a minimum.
BakerLaw’s family solicitors in Farnborough can provide legal advice and guide you through the process, helping you reach an agreement that is fair and reinforced by appropriate legal documentation.
Divorce
The divorce process is understandably difficult for many couples, and this is only made truer when complex matters such as finances, property, and child arrangements need to be organised. Our divorce solicitors in Farnborough provide a divorce service that offers closure and clarity to our clients.
We regularly oversee the entire divorce process for separating couples, including filing the divorce application, negotiating settlements, and drafting consent orders. We will ensure that progress is made in good time whilst minimising conflict and delays, readily communicating with you throughout.
Divorce and pensions
Pensions are often the most valuable asset in a marriage, and so routinely become a point of contention during separation. Our family solicitors can make sure that you understand pension rights, obtain fair valuations, and ensure that the split is fair through pension sharing and offsetting where appropriate.
If you’re worried about planning for retirement or losing finances, our legal service ensures that your pension assets are protected. We regularly liaise with financial advisors and actuaries to ensure a comprehensive settlement.
Family mediation
Family mediation provides an opportunity to resolve disputes around separation, finances, or children without involving the court. Couples who want to stay in control or reach a mutual agreement often find this to be an advantageous service for their family.
Through our family mediation service, our skilled mediators will help both parties communicate and find solutions before, during, and after mediation, ensuring that everyone involved understands their rights and feels prepared.
Mediation is often quicker, less expensive, and less stressful than litigation, removing the exposure to courts and providing a constructive option for many separating couples.
Finances on divorce
Dividing finances during a divorce can be complex and stressful, especially when property, savings, debts, and pensions are involved. Separating couples are advised to secure a financial settlement as doing so allows for assets to be properly identified and valued, terms negotiated, and a legally binding financial order put in place.
Whether you are looking to divide finances equally or have a more bespoke solution in mind, our family law solicitors in Farnborough can ensure that all decisions reached are fair and legally enforceable.
Holiday arrangements
Holiday arrangements determine when and how children spend time with each parent during breaks and holidays. Our family solicitors can create clear, child-focused agreements, including for travel abroad, or, where necessary, we can help you apply for a court order such as a Specific Issue Order.
Maintenance payments
Maintenance payments are financial provisions intended to support former spouses or children after separation. BakerLaw family solicitors can ensure that you understand your entitlements or obligations, negotiate on specific terms, and apply to the court where necessary.
Whether you’re paying or receiving support, professional legal advice helps ensure that your arrangement is fair and sustainable. We regularly advise on enforcing or changing existing maintenance orders as life circumstances change.
Prenuptial agreements
A prenuptial agreement, also called a prenup, sets out how assets should be divided in the event of a divorce. For individuals or couples with a family business, significant wealth, an upcoming inheritance, or children from a previous relationship, a prenuptial agreement offers security and peace of mind.
Our family law solicitors in Farnborough can review or draft an agreement that protects your interests whilst being fully compliant with legal regulation. Each party should seek independent legal advice to ensure fairness, and we can help make sure that your prenup will stand up in court.
Separation agreements and separation deeds
Separation agreements, also called separation deeds, establish the terms that you and your partner have agreed on for when you live separately. Whilst it does not officially end your partnership or marriage, it clarifies how assets, finances, and other matters will be managed.
Our family law solicitors can review and draft your agreement, offering clear legal advice and helping you to understand your rights and obligations. We can negotiate on specific terms and protect your financial position for your current circumstances and in the future.
Unmarried couples disputes
Unmarried couples going through a separation do not have the same legal rights as married couples, making disputes over finances, property, and children more complex and frustrating.
BakerLaw’s family solicitors can help correctly determine asset ownership, assist with child arrangements, and navigate financial contributions. We’ll prioritise an out of court solution but involve litigation where necessary, help you to deal with matters such as a shared home, savings, or parenting disagreements.
