What Is Family Law and How Do You Know If You Need It?

Family Law is a broad area of legal practice that focuses on issues involving family relationships, detailing the rights and responsibilities of family members. While it is most commonly associated with divorce proceedings, it covers many areas that impact on people’s personal and family life, involving finances following separations, dealing with domestic abuse, child law, adoption and nuptial agreements.

At Pre-Law, we believe in handling each case with the utmost care and attention it deserves. We recognise that every family’s situation is unique and requires tailored advice, and solutions. Our approach is to work closely with you, understanding your circumstances and providing clear, practical advice to resolve your issues.

Understanding Divorce and Separation

Over the past 50 years, one third of marriages has ended in divorce. While divorce rates have seen a decline – with 80,057 divorces granted in England and Wales in 2022, the lowest since 1971 – navigating a divorce remains a profoundly stressful time. The anxiety of facing uncertain outcomes can be overwhelming, whether you are going through an amicable separation or a complex legal battle.

 Our team understands the emotional and practical intricacies involved. We work had to make family law easier for you and pride ourselves on providing care and guidance without adding costly legal fees to your list of concerns. Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge to make informed decisions, offering comprehensive advice on your rights, responsibilities, and how courts typically handle cases that proceed to litigation. 

We offer this service for £80.00, an affordable rate significantly lower than the initial fixed fee of £300.00 typically charged by many high street law firms.

Addressing the Financial Implication of Divorce

Understanding the financial implication of divorce is essential, as it significantly affects your future finances. Divorce requires the division of assets such as savings, properties, and investments, which can have long-term consequences. Additionally, factors like child support, spousal maintenance, and pension rights add complexity to financial settlements.

 UK divorce law aim for an equal split of assets, yet outcomes can vary significantly, affecting long-term financial stability. These discrepancies may be influenced by a number of factors, including how pensions are handled and the earning capacity of each party post-divorce. Often, caregiving duties impact one’s career continuity, which can reduce pension savings and future earning potential.

Navigating these issues requires careful planning and a clear understanding of your rights and entitlements to ensure a fair distribution and secure financial health for life after divorce.

Our family team is on hand to provide personalised advice that addresses these challenges. We are here to guide you through these financial decisions in a straightforward way, helping you achieve a fair outcome without overwhelming costs.
