Divorce, separation, dissolution of a civil partnership or simply splitting
up with a partner is never easy – the emotional upheaval, legal
complexities and financial implications make even the most amicable
parting a demanding business; when children are involved, couples are
in dispute and property needs to be divided the whole process can be
fraught with difficulties. And it’s not just for married couples
that is complicated: the dissolution of civil partnerships and the splitting
up of cohabiting couples means the subject has become more varied and
more complex.
Divorce and Splitting Up offers comprehensive, clear, step-by-step guidance
through the whole process, explaining how the law works, drawing attention
to key considerations and looking at ways of minimising unnecessary
conflict and costs.
It contains:
• advice on how to choose a solicitor, legal fees, when to go
to court and what this entails
• information on less confrontational alternatives, such as mediation,
with advice on when these are suitable and what they can help to achieve
• advice on the position and needs of children, maintenance settlements,
parental responsibility and legal rights
• guidance following the 2006 abolition of the Child Support Agency
(CSA) with notes on the probable effects on divorcing couples and their
offspring
• emergency legal measures to counter crisis, such as child abduction
or domestic abuse
• separate chapters on how different laws and procedures apply
in Scotland and Northern Ireland and the implications of these
