LGBT Family Law

Same sex couples encounter the same legal issues as couples of opposite sex. If you require legal advice pertaining to your relationship, it is always recommended to obtain advice from an experienced LGBT solicitor, who both understands UK law and empathises with matters concerning the LGBT community.  Our solicitor, Donna Goodsell prides herself in having decades’ experience working with the LGBT community 

 

Areas of law:

 

  • Children Law

Matters concerning children always take priority in any relationship.  For same sex relationships, children issues can be sometimes be more complex to resolve. As expert LGBT solicitors we can advise you to secure your children’s best interests. 

  • Pre-nuptial /Pre-civil Partnership Agreements

Many couples choose the security of protecting their separate assets by entering a prenuptial or pre-civil partnership arrangement. Whilst not automatically binding, if certain criteria are met, this can be a very persuasive document in the event of divorce or dissolution.

  • Cohabitation Agreements and Living together arrangements

These Agreements are a form of contract, to manage expectations  of the cohabiting couple regarding ownership of the property and how bills are to be paid and  financial issues resolved in the event of separation.

  • Divorce and Dissolution of Civil Partnerships

Separating from a life partner can be  one of the most disappointing and distressing events to encounter. As LGBT solicitors we have extensive experience in assisting clients through the process of divorce and civil partnership dissolution.  We provide guidance and support to alleviate your stress and give you the confidence that we will deliver the best possible outcome for your situation and future. 

  • Adoption for same-sex couples

To ensure your adoption process runs smoothly, as LGBT solicitors we can provide the guidance and assistance you need to adopt a child. 

  • Parental Responsibility

Parental responsibility confers full legal responsibilities and commitments in relation to a child. Parental responsibility is the automatic right of the birth mother.  As LGBT solicitors we can advise you how to acquire parental responsibility, irrespective of your position.
