Although there are subtle differences whilst a relationship subsides, there are no fundamental legal differences between civil partnerships and same-sex marriages when a relationship breaks down. In both instances, breakdown of a relationship can give rise to confusion, anxiety and concern.
At K J Smith Solicitors, we have a team of highly skilled specialist divorce and civil partnership lawyers who can advise you on the most cost effective and efficient way to proceed with a divorce in a same sex marriage or dissolution of a civil partnership. Our civil partnership solicitors have experience of both and are members of Resolution, an organisation committed to working in a non-confrontational and cost-effective way.
Our friendly and discreet approach means that we take the time to fully understand your circumstances and the reasons for the relationship breakdown. We then work quickly to find a practical solution in order to minimise the pain and stress throughout the ongoing process.
I don’t think it is possible to tell you how grateful I am. You were a calming influence throughout.
Our aim is to be a friend on the other end of the phone who you can rely on, as well as the expert to act on your behalf. We pride ourselves on being accessible and available – meaning our lawyers will be there for you and act quickly when you need advice.
No two cases are the same, therefore we tailor our service to your individual needs and match you with a specialist who will be best suited to handle your case.
Our divorce and civil partnership lawyers will offer support and advice throughout the proceedings whilst keeping you up-to-date on where you are in the process, together with regular updates on costs and likely costs.
Finding the right lawyer can be a difficult job, therefore why not arrange a free 45-minute consultation at one of our offices or arrange a video consultation with us via Zoom, WhatsApp or Facetime.
Our flexible video conferencing service is available Monday to Friday from 9:00am to 5:30pm.
Contact us for a free initial 45 minute consultation to give you the opportunity to meet us before deciding if you wish to proceed with instructing us to act on your behalf.
During this appointment we will seek to understand the reasons for the breakdown of the relationship and discuss the various options available to you.
If saving the marriage or partnership is unlikely, we will seek to understand more about you and your partner's income, savings, assets and pension arrangements so that we can begin to think about finding a solution to your future financial needs. We will also talk about your children, if you have any, and options for their future arrangements.
