| Vincent Sykes & Higham has a long expertise in dealing with matrimonial breakdowns and all the complexities that they give rise to. We can assist with all areas of work arising out of matrimonial disputes: |
| |
| Divorce |
| The formal dissolution of marriage |
| |
| Separation |
| If you need advice about leading separate lives preparing a formal agreement setting out each parties obligations to the other possibly as a stop gap to divorce in the future |
| |
| Mediation |
| Some clients prefer to go through a process of mediation prior to divorce to attempt to reconcile their differences. For clients funded by the Legal Services Commission, mediation is a pre-requisite for further assistance to be provided. |
| |
| Ancillary Relief or Financial Provision |
| This deals with the division of property following a divorce and is often considerably more complicated than obtaining the divorce itself. We have a great deal of experience in dealing with the complexities of the procedures involved and in ensuring that our clients obtain the best deal available on the basis of the best information obtainable |
| |
| Emergency Remedies including Domestic Violence |
| We can obtain, either as part of divorce proceedings or independently, court orders prohibitting acts of violence or approaches from a violent or abusive former partner. These orders can be available regardless of marital status. |
| |
| Children |
| We advise on the various orders that may be appropriate including adoption, residence (where they are to live) or contact (a right of access) orders for children. Such orders can include seeking approval as to their education etc. We can assist with applications to the Child Support Agency for maintenance of children |
| |
| Co-habitee disputes |
| Disputes as to ownership of houses or property with another person to whom you are not married. |
