No matter the circumstances, a divorce or civil partnership dissolution is always like to be a difficult time, with a range of emotional and practical challenges to overcome. While the process of obtaining a divorce has been streamlined with the introduction of The Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act, it is still vital that you have an expert on your side to help you navigate the process with confidence and to ensure your financial security is not put at risk.
Our expertise ensures that we can advise you on every aspect of your divorce or civil partnership dissolution, from the formal application process through to additional arrangements for your finances and children.

Pre- and post-nuptial agreements may not seem like the most romantic notion on the surface. Equally, many people may believe that such an agreement is only accessible for the rich and famous. This is far from the case.
Pre- and post-nuptial agreements have grown in popularity in the UK, and for good reason. For many couples, these types of agreements can be a highly effective way of determining how assets will be handled during a future separation, reducing the potential for disruptive and costly disputes.
Our Family Law Solicitors and Lawyers can provide bespoke advice in relation to pre- and post-nuptial agreements, helping you to consider what should be included, or respond to any documents that have been sent by your partner.

Making arrangements for your children in the wake of divorce or separation is critical. While in many cases couples can reach a voluntary agreement, some situations may require an application to court.
Our team will work alongside you to establish what arrangements are best suited to you and your children, ensuring that you have the support you need to achieve a resolution, including in situations where a court order will be required.
The collaborative law process is a method of dispute resolution that can act as a viable alternative to court proceedings during divorce and separation. During collaborative law, both parties appoint a solicitor who is specially trained to support them during round-table meetings, where they agree on the practical details of the separation.
You can arrange an initial meeting with our collaborative lawyer, Lisa, where she can take a closer look at your circumstances and determine whether it is a suitable process for your separation.

Resolution Together is a new initiative designed to allow a single family law solicitor or lawyer to work alongside a couple jointly, as opposed to one individual, during a divorce or separation.
This method of resolution is likely to be ideal for a wide range of separating couples, including those that intend to make a joint application for divorce.
Lisa Cogger is currently the only solicitor in Staffordshire Moorlands and immediate areas that offers the Resolution Together service.
In every instance, your safety, and that of your family, is paramount. Our empathetic family law solicitors and lawyers have substantial experience, and as resolution specialists in handling cases of domestic abuse, we understand the impact that domestic abuse can have on the health of you and your family.
We will handle your case with sensitivity and tact, guiding you through all of the legal options that are available to you, including applying to the court for orders under the Family Law Act 1996. We have a legal aid contract, which means we are able to offer legal aid for anyone eligible.
There are many reasons why formal proceedings won’t be the right option for couples who intend to separate. Whether it’s because you are undecided about the current status of your relationship or you simply wish to try a temporary period apart from one another, it is sensible to consider the alternative options that are available, such as a separation agreement.
Separation agreements are legal documents which couples can prepare, confirming the practical arrangements they have made following a separation. They can be used by married couples, civil partners, and cohabitees.
