Private family law advice for people in Kent
Family-law matters can affect your children, home, finances and future plans at the same time. You may be dealing with the practical arrangements following a separation, questions about property or pensions, or uncertainty about how arrangements for your child will work.
NLS provides clear advice, careful representation and practical support. We can help you identify the matters that need to be addressed and understand the options available in your circumstances.
How the NLS Private Law department can help
Divorce and financial settlements
Divorce can involve important decisions about property, savings, pensions, investments, income and future financial security. Where there are substantial or complex assets, you may also need to consider business interests, trusts or assets held outside the UK.
Child arrangements and relocation
When parents separate, they may need to make arrangements about where their child lives, how they spend time with each parent and how day-to-day decisions will be managed. A proposed move abroad can bring further issues to consider.
Nuptial and cohabitation agreements
Clear agreements can help couples discuss financial arrangements before marriage, during a relationship or when moving in together. They can provide a structured way to record intentions about property, contributions, savings and other financial matters.
Support with complex family circumstances
Some family-law matters involve more than one issue. A separation may raise questions about the family home, pension provision, business interests, investments or arrangements for children. It can be helpful to take a clear view of the information available before deciding how to move forward.
NLS can help you understand the matters that may be relevant to your situation. The right approach will depend on your family circumstances, finances and the issues that need to be resolved.
Child-focused advice and practical arrangements
Making arrangements for a child can be difficult when parents have different views about what should happen next. You may need to discuss routines during the school week, holidays, important occasions, communication and practical arrangements for handovers.
The NLS Private Law department can help you focus on the issues that need to be addressed and understand the available options. If an international move is being considered, early advice can help you understand the practical and legal questions involved.
