Family
At every stage of a relationship, protecting your interests and those of your family is crucial. Whether you are moving in together, starting a family, getting married, or facing the end of a relationship through separation or divorce, there are constructive ways to plan for your future.
Our Family team at Forsters is here to help safeguard your interests and guide you towards the best way forward. We assist on the full range of family law matters including pre and post nuptial agreements, cohabitation agreements, matters involving children, financial issues and divorce for clients both in the UK and overseas.
If you are going through a divorce or separation, we understand the process ahead can feel daunting and emotionally charged. Our trusted family and divorce lawyers are here to provide the support you need, managing complex issues in a creative, constructive, and pragmatic manner while always remaining empathetic to your feelings. With experience in all forms of alternatives to court, we will help you find the best process to resolve matters and will take cases to court where required.
If you are considering how best to protect your interests during a relationship, before marriage or when moving in together, we can talk you through your options including a pre-nup, post-nup or cohabitation agreement. We will guide you through the process and put in place a bespoke agreement that best suits your personal circumstances.
Specialising in complex situations involving high value assets and cross-border matters, we have helped many people including business leaders, city professionals, entrepreneurs, media and sporting personalities, landowners, their spouses, partners and trustees.
