What is Divorce and Family Law?
Divorce and family law is the branch of law that regulates legal relationships between family members and protects their rights. This area covers issues such as divorce, property division, custody, alimony, adoption, inheritance, and domestic violence. The divorce process is complex both emotionally and legally. Therefore, seeking advice from an experienced solicitor is critical to ensuring the process is handled correctly and efficiently.
Types and Processes of Divorce
Divorce proceedings are generally conducted in two ways: by mutual consent and contested divorce
- Divorce by mutual consent: The parties reach an agreement on property division, alimony and custody matters and apply to the court. This process is faster and less stressful.
- Contested Divorce: When the parties cannot agree on certain issues, the court will decide based on the evidence presented and legal reasoning. This process may be longer and more complex.
Custody, Maintenance and Property Division
The interests of children always take precedence in family law. In custody cases, the court considers the child's physical, psychological and educational needs. Maintenance is determined according to the financial circumstances of the parties after divorce and covers the costs of caring for the children.
Property division ensures the fair distribution of assets acquired during the marriage. The court assesses the parties' contribution ratios and financial circumstances. Proper legal guidance during the divorce process prevents loss of rights and makes the process more manageable.
Mediation and Legal Consultancy
Mediation in divorce cases ensures that the process proceeds more quickly and amicably. A family law solicitor supports their client in matters of negotiation and agreement during the proceedings, thereby minimising potential disputes.
Other Matters Covered by Family Law
In addition to divorce, family law also covers issues such as adoption, cases of violence, inheritance and maintenance disputes. An experienced solicitor provides clients with both their legal rights and strategic solutions.
