Separation & Divorce Lawyers

As skilled mediators, our separation and divorce lawyers in Surrey are here to help you achieve a result you can look back at in the future and be proud of. We understand that separation and divorce can be emotionally and mentally taxing on our clients, which is why we always put your best interests first.

Under the Divorce Act, a divorce can be granted on grounds such as:

A divorce is often termed ‘contested’ or ‘uncontested’.

An uncontested divorce is where both parties choose to resolve their divorce reasonably and have no issues regarding the terms of divorce, such as parenting time and property division.

A contested divorce is where both parties disagree on one or more of the terms surrounding a divorce. Our divorce lawyers are able to act in both instances to help find a real resolution.

Making even the smallest of mistakes during a divorce can put your fortune and child’s quality of life at risk. Our divorce and separation lawyers in Surrey offer you experienced, strategic and informed guidance that will help secure a better result for you and your loved ones.

Common-Law Lawyers

In order to be considered in a common-law relationship, a couple must have been together in a marriage-like relationship for 2 years or for less than 2 years if they have a child together. The majority of common-law couples have lived together during this time, though they can be some exceptions.

Despite not being married, common-law couples do share rights and responsibilities. This becomes especially important if the couple choose to separate. These rights and responsibilities include:

Our common-law lawyers in Surrey are here to assist you in understanding and defining your rights and responsibilities in the event you and your partner are separating.

Guardianship, Child Support & Parenting Time Lawyers

Understanding your rights and expectations as a parent can be difficult when separated from the other party.

You might be unsure about how much of your child’s time should be split between both parents or you might have concerns that this will negatively impact your child’s quality of life. Whatever your concern, our child custody lawyers in Surrey are here to help establish a fair guardianship.

Similarly, you might find the other parent is not contributing enough to your child’s wellbeing or that your current financial contributions are unfair and the other parent isn’t letting you see your child. If so, seek support from our child support lawyer in Surrey.

Our child support and custody lawyers in Surrey work to ensure that you are well informed of your rights as a parent and will help you secure a better result for the sake of your child.
