FINANCIAL & PROPERTY SETTLEMENTS
There are many consequences to be considered as a result of a marriage break down. It is inevitable that disputes will arise in relation to the division of the assets
An impartial mediator meets both parties in dispute separately at first and then together. Families are able to work out arrangements for children and division of property by focussing on practical solutions.
As a consequence of more competitive salaries, increasing property prices and buoyant investment portfolios, pensions can now in fact form a large proportion of the family asset base.

The divorce/dissolution stages
We at Taylor&Emmet appreciate that the legal costs of instructing a solicitor to act in divorce or dissolution proceedings can be concerning. However, the prospect of preparing court documents can be daunting for some people. Poorly prepared documents are rejected by the court which leads to delay and inconvenience.
For this reason we have devised the Document Preparation Service. We will prepare the documents required by the petitioner at each stage in a straightforward divorce or civil partnership dissolution for a fixed fee.
Get started by clicking the link below or if you want to understand a little bit more about the process please click which stage you would like to know more about.
