Divorce & Separation

Divorce and separation can be hugely painful and challenging to go through. By seeking expert advice early on, you can help to ensure the process isn’t any more difficult than it needs to be. We will guide you on the various different routes available to minimise both the financial and emotional cost, helping you to choose the one that is right for you.

At Hedges, our expert team has extensive experience in supporting a wide range of divorces and separations, including international and highly complex multi-million pound cases.

Pre & Post Nuptial Agreements

Getting married or entering into a civil partnership is a truly wonderful occasion. At such an exciting time, legal planning may be the last thing on your mind but it pays to prepare yourself for whatever the future may bring.

By considering your legal position prior to your big day, you will have peace of mind knowing you have safeguarded yourself and your assets should your relationship eventually break down.

Children Disputes

Few things in life can be as emotive or as difficult to resolve as a dispute involving your children. As a parent, you’ll be looking for solutions that meet the best interests of your children, but when emotions are running high and the issue in question is something, or someone, so close to your heart, it can be really hard to be objective and make the right decisions.

Our experienced family lawyers are here to guide you with expertise and care.

Family Mediation

For many separating couples, finding a way to reach an amicable solution together is their preferred option. By using an expert mediator early in a separation it may well be possible to avoid costly and stressful court proceedings and craft an agreement on both financial and children issues.

Domestic Abuse

Domestic abuse can come in many forms, including emotional, mental, financial, as well as physical. There can also be more subtle yet equally dangerous variants such as coercive or controlling behaviour, and gaslighting. If you are a victim of domestic abuse, our expert family lawyers can help you obtain legal protection and security from the perpetrator.

Your conversations with us with will be held in the strictest confidence.
