Creating a Separation Agreement
If you have decided to separate but don’t want to divorce yet, you can still formalise the terms of your separation. Formalising your separation can provide each of you with peace of mind and can be useful to formalise such things as living or childcare arrangement.
At Morrish Solicitors, we can help you arrange a legal separation on terms that support the best interests of you and your family.
To ensure you and your partner know where you stand after you separate, we can create a separation agreement for you. This can include:
- How you wish to divide your property and any other capital
- Levels of child or spousal maintenance
- How to deal with any mutual debts
- How to deal with any proceeds from the sale of a property, after paying off any outstanding mortgage balance or sale costs
- What will happen to items you’ve bought together, such as cars and furniture
- What will happen to any family pets
- Who the children will live with and when they will see the other parent
To discuss creating a separation agreement, contact one of our friendly, compassionate lawyers today.
Supporting you through a legal separation
We understand that every couple’s relationship, circumstances and finances are unique. That’s why it is important you seek expert legal advice based on your individual situation. Our experienced solicitors will be able to advise you on the options available to you, and make recommendations based on your position.
Every separation requires a different approach, and our extensive experience dealing with separation and divorce means we are well placed to advise you on the best and most practical approach for your situation.
We have extensive experience handling a range of divorces and separations, from straightforward cases to complex, financial ones. From the start, we will seek to advise you on how your case is likely to progress and the expected costs involved.

Why choose a solicitor for your legal separation?
If you and your partner have decided to separate, choosing a solicitor to assist with your separation can be an important part of the process.
Choosing to seek advice from a solicitor during a separation has many advantages:
- You will receive independent legal advice – either if you are negotiating a settlement through mediation or considering taking court action.
- A solicitor can reduce the stress involved and negotiate on your behalf with your ex-partner’s solicitor
- A solicitor can draw up a legal agreement, based on what you have agreed independently with your ex-partner.
- A solicitor can advise you on your financial entitlement
- If your ex-partner won’t negotiate with you, using a solicitor might be more effective than trying to sort any issues directly.
At Morrish Solicitors, we take a constructive and cost-effective approach to separation. For more information, contact our experienced family lawyers.
