FAQ’s - Family Law in Towcester
Some frequently asked questions covering our family law services in and around Towcester. If you have a question that is not listed below, then please contact us, and one of our friendly legal team will be able to help you.
Do I need a solicitor to get divorced?
While it is possible to complete a divorce yourself, many people find that taking legal advice early helps avoid mistakes and unnecessary stress. A family law solicitor can explain your rights, guide you through the process, and ensure that financial matters and arrangements for children are properly dealt with. At Heald Solicitors, we provide clear, practical advice tailored to your situation.
How long does a divorce usually take?
A straightforward divorce in England and Wales typically takes around six months from start to finish. However, matters involving finances, property, pensions, or children can take longer depending on complexity and cooperation between both parties. We will always give you a realistic timeframe based on your individual circumstances.
What happens to the family home after separation?
There is no automatic rule. What happens to the family home depends on factors such as ownership, whether you are married, the needs of any children, and each person’s financial position. Our family law solicitors can advise Towcester clients on their options and help achieve a fair outcome.
Can arrangements for children be agreed without going to court?
Yes. Most child arrangements are agreed without court involvement, often through discussion, negotiation, or mediation. Court proceedings are usually a last resort. At Heald Solicitors, we focus on child-centred solutions that promote stability and cooperation wherever possible.
What rights do unmarried couples have?
Unmarried couples do not have the same legal rights as married couples, even after living together for many years. Property and financial claims are treated differently, and this can come as a surprise to many people. We regularly advise cohabiting couples in Towcester and surrounding villages on their rights and available legal options.
When should I consider a pre-nuptial or cohabitation agreement?
Pre-nuptial and cohabitation agreements are useful for couples who want clarity and protection from the outset. They can be particularly helpful where one or both partners own property, have children from a previous relationship, or wish to safeguard assets. Our solicitors can advise whether an agreement is right for you and ensure it is properly prepared.
What should I do if I’m experiencing domestic abuse?
Yes. If your circumstances change significantly, it may be possible to vary an existing family court order. This can include changes to financial arrangements or child arrangements. We can advise whether a variation is appropriate and guide you through the process.
