Divorce and separation can be one of the most stressful situations for couples due to the emotional nature of the proceedings, however it is not always necessary to go to court.

At Hay & Kilner, we understand that issues surrounding child maintenance and support can be emotionally challenging and legally complex, especially when it concerns children of a young age. Ensuring the physical, mental and financial wellbeing of your children is a top priority, whether you're going through a separation or need help enforcing or modifying existing child support agreements. Our specialist family law team is here to provide you with clear, compassionate, and effective legal advice to help to secure the best possible future for your children.

As a co-habitating or unmarried couple, it is important to understand that if the relationship comes to an end you do not have the same rights as couples who are married or couples in civil partnerships.

Here at Hay & Kilner we understand that deciding to separate from your partner is one of the hardest decisions you can make. Our dedicated team of legal experts are here to make the process of separating from your partner or divorcing your spouse as stress and pain free as possible with personalised support and guidance.

Unfortunately, the breakdown of a relationship can lead to physical, emotional and sexual abuse. When this happens, we will work quickly and determinedly to protect you and/or your children.

Navigating the family court system can be a daunting experience, especially when dealing with emotionally sensitive issues such as divorce, child arrangements, or financial disputes. At Hay & Kilner, our expert family law solicitors provide experienced and compassionate representation to guide you through every step of the process.

Nuptial agreements continue to grow in popularity and are a sensible consideration to determine how assets are shared should you separate, divorce or dissolve your civil partnership.

Our experts help spouses to navigate the intricacies of spousal maintenance, ensuring fair and equitable arrangements tailored to each individual's unique circumstances.
