Cohabitation and Marriage

Cohabitation and Marriage

We provide support to our clients in a number of ways when it comes to cohabitation and marriage. Our services include:

Pre and Post-Nuptial Agreements

Pre and post-nuptial agreements are legal documents that outline the financial and property arrangements between couples before or after they get married. These agreements provide clarity and protection in the event of a divorce or separation, but can also be useful throughout marriage, in particular where there are disagreements about finances in the family. Our experienced family law solicitors can assist you in drafting and negotiating pre and post-nuptial agreements that reflect your specific circumstances and protect your interests. We ensure that these agreements provide a fair and balanced approach to the division of assets, spousal support, and other financial matters.

When might you require our services?

• If you are getting married or planning to get married and wish to establish clear financial and property arrangements to protect your interests in the event of a divorce or separation.
• If you are already married and want to create a post-nuptial agreement to address financial matters and property division.
• If you have significant assets, business interests, family inheritances, or you have intellectual property rights that you wish to protect through a pre or post-nuptial agreement.

Cohabitation Agreements

Cohabitation agreements are valuable legal documents for unmarried couples who live together. These agreements establish the rights and responsibilities of each partner and address various aspects such as property ownership, financial contributions, and child arrangements. Protecting your interests and ensuring clarity in cohabitation relationships can be vital. Our experienced family law solicitors can help you draft a comprehensive cohabitation agreement that reflects your intentions, provides legal protection, and minimizes potential conflicts in the future.

When might you require our services?

• If you are in a cohabiting relationship and wish to establish clear rights and responsibilities for both partners.
• If you want to define ownership rights for shared property or assets acquired during the relationship.
• If you have children together and need to establish child arrangements, parental rights, and financial responsibilities.
• If you want to protect your interests and minimize potential conflicts in the event of a separation or dispute.

Pet Law

At RVS Solicitors, we recognize the importance of addressing pet-related issues in family law matters. Our family law solicitors have experience in dealing with pet custody disputes, ensuring the best interests of the pet are considered while working towards a fair resolution.
