At Lincolns Family Law we understand that if you are contemplating divorce or separation, it will be an anxious time for all concerned, and there will be many questions that you need answers to.
Grounds for divorce: While the only ground for divorce is "irretrievable breakdown", you must rely on one or more "supporting facts" when starting divorce proceedings.
These can be unreasonable behaviour, adultery, desertion, 2 years' separation (with the consent of your spouse) or 5 years' separation (when their consent is no longer needed).

Other family members, particularly grandparents, can also fall out of the picture.
If you are finding it difficult to maintain your relationship with your children following divorce or separation, then we can represent you in negotiations or refer you to a mediator.
If you are unable to agree a way forward with the other parent, we can act for you in an application for a court order.

We can help you make sense of your finances after a relationship breakdown whether you are married, in a civil partnership or cohabiting with your partner.
If you are married or in a civil partnership then provided your divorce or dissolution proceedings are underway any agreement about family property can be backed up with a "consent order", which is a court order that reflects your agreement and is only made with the approval of a Judge.
Once approved, a consent order will have the force of law and so it can be relied on in the future.
