Thinking that your marriage may be coming to an end is devastating. All relationships have their highs and lows, but when the lows outnumber the highs, it can be so difficult to decide what to do next.
At Moloney Family Law Solicitors, we understand that this is a deeply personal and emotional time for you, and we are here to help guide you through the legal process if you feel that divorce might be the right step.
The Decision to Separate
Once you have made the difficult decision that your marriage is over, it is essential to take the next steps responsibly.
At Moloney Family Law Solicitors, we would recommend the following for you to consider –
Getting Professional Legal Advice
It is critically important to understand your legal options before you proceed with a separation or divorce. Our team of experienced family law solicitors are available to provide clear, friendly advice so that you can make well-informed decisions.
Building a Strong Support Network
Divorce or separation can be emotional. It is so important to surround yourself with a strong support system. This could include family and close friends. Please choose people who will support your wellbeing and offer guidance based on your personal circumstances.
Key Considerations in Divorce
When separating from your spouse, there are several essential factors to keep in mind.
Your Relationship
If you are married, you will need to decide if you are seeking a divorce or a legal separation. Divorce is permanent, so it is important to make sure that this is the best decision. At Moloney Family Law Solicitors, we help you understand all your options.
Your Finances
Separating finances is often the most challenging aspect of divorce. Whether it involves dividing assets, pensions, or arranging spousal maintenance, financial settlements require serious consideration. With the support of Moloney Family Law solicitors, we can help you negotiate fair financial settlements and ensure that any agreements are legally binding.
Your Children
Decisions about child custody, living arrangements and financial support will need to be made. At Moloney Family Law Solicitors, we specialise in helping parents create parenting agreements that are in the best interest of the children while minimising the emotional impact of separation.
Moving Forward
