Divorce, Separation & Finances

Separation Agreements, Divorce and Finances Hornchurch

At Moss & Coleman, we understand that divorce and separation can bring significant emotional, financial, and legal challenges. Without proper guidance, the process can feel overwhelming. Our experienced family law solicitors are here to provide clear, practical advice tailored to your circumstances.

Divorce and Marital Breakdown

Whether you’re considering separation or want to legally end your marriage through a divorce, we can help you take the right steps.

• If you are separating but not divorcing, we can draft a Separation Agreement outlining how assets will be divided and arrangements for children.
• If you choose to divorce, we can assist you with your divorce application and support you through every stage of the divorce process, ensuring your rights and interests are protected.

Financial Settlements in Divorce

Financial issues are often the most complex part of a divorce or separation. We offer expert advice on how to reach a fair and reasonable financial settlement with your spouse.
Our team is highly experienced in dealing with a wide range of financial assets, including:

• Property and real estate
• Business assets and company shares
• Pensions and investments
• Spousal maintenance and ongoing financial support

We can also support you in negotiation, mediation, or through financial remedy proceedings in court, depending on your needs.

Civil Partnerships

We provide comprehensive legal support for civil partners, including advice on:

• Civil partnership dissolution
• Financial arrangements
• Property rights
• Child arrangements (if applicable)

Our solicitors will ensure you understand your legal position and help protect your interests during and after the breakdown of your civil relationship.

Cohabitation Agreements & Disputes

With more couples choosing to live together without marrying, it’s crucial to understand your legal position. Cohabiting couples do not have the same legal rights as married couples or civil partners.
We can help you:

• Draft a clear, legally sound Cohabitation Agreement to protect your financial and legal interests
• Set out how household expenses and assets will be managed during your relationship
• Plan for how assets will be divided if the relationship ends

If disputes arise—for example, over the ownership of a property, or how proceeds from a sale should be divided—we can assist with TOLATA applications (under the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996). The court will review the evidence and determine who owns the property, and who is entitled to remain in it after a relationship breakdown.
