Cate is a Senior Associate at Kingsley Napley and spoke to us about what’s involved when parents divorce.
We covered:
- The 3 strands to a divorce – the divorce itself, the finances, the children.
- No fault divorce and what it is / what it means.
- What happens when courts get involved in terms of making an order about how the children spend their time between parents and whether there is any flexibility.
- Particular patterns of how to share the care of children that Cate would recommend to parents.
- How long the divorce process can take particularly when children are involved.
- Mediation and how that works as part of the process.
- What happens if you aren’t married and have children but want to separate.
- Whether there is such a thing as common law marriage in the UK.
- Child maintenance, what it is and how it is calculated (link below).
- Cate’s tips for communicating your breakup with your child/ren and managing the relationship going forward.
- Cate’s tips for trying to avoid an acrimonious divorce including making sure you have lots of people and systems around to support you both.
- Having goals in place for the future with your children and the importance of communicating these to your lawyer.
- Pre-nups / post-nups – the law around these and how they work.
