What is involved in the Divorce Process?
If you’re looking for a Manchester-based divorce solicitor, you may be wondering exactly how the process will go. It’s natural to have questions, but here at Farleys Solicitors, we work to make the process as straightforward as possible with our clear five-step approach.
Step 1 – Initial Consultation and Strategy
Firstly, our solicitors will carefully assess your case so that they fully understand your unique circumstances, identifying any worries and objectives. With this information in mind, we will work with you to outline an effective strategy, ensuring that you understand exactly how the case will proceed.
Step 2 – Financial Disclosure and Asset Assessment
To make sure we’re securing the best possible settlement, we will need to fully understand the finances in question. To do this, we will gather documentation from both parties, including details on things like income, pension values and property information.
Step 3 – Child Welfare Planning
Next, and arguably most importantly, we’ll focus on any children involved in the divorce. Your child’s well-being is our number one priority, and we always work to maintain their happiness and sense of stability. All arrangements are given proper thought, ensuring that their lives are disrupted as little as possible.
Step 4 – Settlement Negotiation
By negotiating with your spouse’s representatives, our divorce solicitors in Manchester will attempt to secure a fair agreement on your behalf. This includes areas like finances, property and children.
Step 5 – Court Proceedings or Final Agreements
Finally, if negotiation and mediation have been unsuccessful, we will continue with court proceedings, providing support and legal representation to reach a resolution that best suits the needs of your family.
