Pre-nuptial Agreements
Often called a prenup or pre-marital agreement, this is the process where couples enter into a legally binding agreement that explains what will happen to their money and property should the marriage end. It’s a step that many couples take and although pre-nuptial agreements are not always legally binding in the UK, they are often honoured by courts unless there are extenuating circumstances.

Post-Nuptial Agreements
A postnuptial agreement, often called postnup or post-marital agreement, is similar to a prenup agreement only it takes places during a couple’s marriage. As before, a postnuptial agreement is not strictly binding in the United Kingdom, but they are often respected by courts unless the specifics of the agreement are deemed as unfair.
In order to get the fairest post-marital agreement, it’s important to be transparent about the financial circumstances of both parties and ensure to take independent legal advice on the contents of the agreement. If there are any financial disputes, you’ll have the legal backing to protect your finances.

Child Arrangement Order
Legal battles to gain custody of children are situations that can occur for many people. Such legal issues and disagreements can be stressful and difficult for all parties involved. If a marriage separates and both parents want to keep the children with them, it can become very difficult to come up with a mutual decision regarding child arrangements.
This is why many couples opt for litigation – the process where a court decides who will get the custody as well as the specific terms of custody. The court’s decision is influenced by the best interests of the children in question. That’s why it is important to have expert family lawyers representing you, in order to gain a better chance of winning your case. Our team of family lawyers have a wealth of experience to help you get the best for your children.
Working out financial or child arrangements can be incredibly stressful, on top of the strain of general financial matters and separation. Here at Osbourne Pinner, we aim to make the legal process as stress-free as possible, helping you to work out child arrangements, financial matters and guide you through the divorce process where required.

In England or Wales, you’re eligible for a divorce if:
you’ve been married for a minimum of a year
the marriage has irretrievably broken down
the union is legally acknowledged in the UK, including same-sex marriages
If divorce isn’t your choice, you can consider legal separation to live separately without ending the marital bond. Alternatively, you can seek annulment. Both separation and annulment can be pursued within the first marriage year.
Processes differ if you’re seeking divorce in Scotland or Northern Ireland.
The end of a marriage is emotionally draining, but it becomes worse when one partner disagrees. However, you can still apply for a divorce on your own if your spouse is uncooperative thanks to the new no-fault divorce.
The most significant element in the recent divorce law reform is removing the need for blame in a divorce and that you are able to get a divorce even if your spouse does not want to.Â
The preliminary division of assets is typically an equal 50/50. Yet, this is just a guideline. Several factors will influence the final division, such as marriage duration, earning capability, and both present and future needs.
While not mandatory, consulting a solicitor before initiating divorce is recommended. A dedicated divorce solicitor can help you work through the process, reduce the amount of stress you have to face and provide you with helpful expertise.

Each individual typically covers their legal expenses. The exact costs can vary significantly based on factors like dispute intensity and intricacies of familial and monetary situations.
A legal adviser or family mediator will determine if you’re eligible for legal aid and apply on your behalf. If you meet the criteria, legal aid covers your expenses directly. However, if you retain or acquire any assets or funds post-trial, some legal aid might require repayment.

Judicial separation allows couples to live apart without officially ending the marriage. It may be chosen when divorce isn’t desirable for personal or religious reasons. Unlike divorce, judicial separation doesn’t lead to a final order that dissolves the marriage, but it does allow both parties to settle financial claims and child arrangements. If one partner lives overseas or there’s a need for dispute proceedings, judicial separation can still be pursued. Additionally, the couple can continue living in the same room, as separation does not require separate residences.
