Divorce / Separation

 

Protect your assets
Can you afford not to?

When divorce or separation becomes reality you will need constant support to see you through the stages of rebuilding your life. At every stage you will be given the expertise, understanding and advice you need to protect you, your children and your assets.

The first reaction is often one of insecurity or anger or even revenge, but you should not give up on each other without full reflection.   The approach that the Family Department at Hugh James takes is to urge you to resolve matters amicably and by negotiation if at all possible (sometimes with the assistance of independent counseling).  Recourse to litigation is often the last resort.    However, if court proceedings are the only answer, then we will do our best to make sure that the break up is handled as sensitively and fairly as possible.

Splitting up can be messy, not only emotionally but also financially. You want to be confident that stress does not take over where common sense should be a priority. There are also the children to think about and their future well being. Kramer v Kramer may have been a memorable film but its plot is not one we would wish you to experience in real life! At Hugh James we aim to minimise trauma at every step and avoid any potential tug-of-war mentality.
