Separation Agreements
How We Help
We support with all aspects of separation agreements - from straightforward arrangements to more complex financial or asset-based matters:
- Drafting Separation Agreements - preparing clear, workable agreements that reflect what's been agreed around finances, property, and responsibilities, including where there are significant assets involved.
- Dividing Assets and Property - helping you set out how savings, pensions, jointly owned homes, and other financial assets will be treated — whether they're already agreed or still under discussion.
- Business Interests - providing guidance where one or both of you have shares in a business, run a company, or rely on business income, ensuring those interests are properly addressed in the agreement.
- Financial Responsibilities - clarifying how mortgage payments, rent, debts, or household expenses will be managed during separation or beyond.
- Parenting & Living Arrangements - including who lives where, how childcare will work in practice, and setting expectations that are realistic and respectful.
- Reviewing Agreements – going through any agreement you’ve been asked to sign - or one you’ve drafted - to make sure the terms are fair, practical, and clearly worded.
- Managing the Process - handling communication, assisting with paperwork, and helping you stay focused and organised from start to finish.
Whether you're already separated or working through the early stages, we help formalise the details so you can move forward with clarity.
Options to Consider
Separation agreements can cover a wide range of issues - from dividing assets and setting financial terms to agreeing how you’ll live and parent separately. Whether things are amicable or more complex, it helps to get clear on a few key points early on:
- Assets and finances - what’s jointly owned, what’s separate, and how will it be handled?
- Property and housing - who will stay in the home, or will it be sold or transferred?
- Children and routines - what care arrangements or responsibilities need to be agreed?
- Ongoing support - will one person continue to support the other, and how will that be structured?
- Business involvement - are either of you involved in a business that needs to be considered?
You don’t need to have all the answers before we start. If you’re not sure what the agreement should cover, we’ll talk it through and help you set out the right approach for you.
