Separation

Making the decision to end a relationship and separate is rarely easy and sometimes you may need professional legal help to ensure the separation process is handled fairly. Whether you’re facing a marriage separation or are ending a relationship after living together, it’s likely that you’ll have lots of questions and concerns. You’ll want to know what will happen regarding your home, possessions and finances. And if children are involved, you’ll want to ensure that their wellbeing is the main priority.

That’s where Smith Roddam Solicitors can help. We offer practical and sympathetic legal support to couples who are separating and can help you put a separation agreement in place to make the process easier.

Perhaps you’re considering a trial separation. If so, we can provide help and advice here too. And whether you later choose to rebuild your relationship or make the separation permanent, we’ll help you understand your choices, so you can make the right decisions.

Our friendly and knowledgeable solicitors will get to know you and your circumstances so that we can provide the best possible advice tailored to your unique situation. Although, no-one wants to face the end of a relationship; with our help the process is much more straightforward for everyone involved. We’ll explain all of your options and ensure you are treated fairly during and after the separation.

At Smith Roddam Solicitors we believe in plain English - not legal jargon. We’ll explain everything in a way that’s clear and easy to understand. We also offer a free, initial over-the-phone chat with a legal expert, so it doesn’t cost you a penny to see how we can help you. Plus we’ll explain the costs and timescales involved up front so you always know what to expect.
