Divorce & Separation

Divorce and separation can be emotionally challenging and legally complex. At Jacksons Law, our experienced family law solicitors in Newcastle, Teesside, and the North East are here to help you navigate the process with compassion and expertise. We understand that every divorce or separation case is unique, and we strive to provide tailored solutions that protect your rights and interests. From assisting with the legal paperwork and negotiations to representing you in court if necessary, our dedicated team is committed to achieving the best possible outcome for you

Our divorce and separation services cover a wide range of issues, including asset division, spousal and child support, child custody and visitation, and financial settlements. We can provide expert advice on the legal grounds for divorce, help you understand your rights and obligations, and guide you through the entire process from start to finish.

Child Arrangement Orders

Child arrangement orders, formerly known as custody and access orders, determine where a child will live and who they will have contact with after their parents’ separation or divorce. At Jacksons Law, we understand that the best interests of the child are paramount in such cases, and we work diligently to protect the rights and welfare of children involved in family law matters.

Our experienced family law solicitors can provide expert advice and representation in child arrangement order cases. We can assist with negotiating and drafting child custody and visitation plans that are in the best interests of the child, taking into account factors such as the child’s age, emotional and physical needs, and the relationship with each parent. We can also provide representation in court to resolve child arrangement disputes and ensure that your rights as a parent are protected.

Domestic Violence

Domestic violence is a serious issue that can have a significant impact on individuals and families. At Jacksons Law, we are committed to providing support and legal assistance to victims of domestic violence. Our experienced family law solicitors can help you understand your legal options and provide guidance on how to protect yourself and your loved ones from abusive situations.

We can assist with obtaining protective orders, such as non-molestation orders and occupation orders, which can help prevent the abuser from contacting or harassing you and can provide you with the right to remain in your home. Our team can also help you understand your rights and options in relation to the division of assets and financial support if you are leaving an abusive relationship. We handle domestic violence cases with sensitivity and confidentiality, and we prioritise your safety and well-being throughout the legal process.

Prenuptial Agreements

Prenuptial agreements, also known as prenups, are legal agreements made between individuals before they get married, which outline how their assets and finances will be divided in the event of a divorce or separation. At Jacksons Law, our family law solicitors can provide expert advice and assistance in drafting and reviewing pre-nuptial agreements to protect your financial interests.

We understand that pre-nuptial agreements can be sensitive and require careful consideration of various legal and financial factors. Our experienced solicitors can help you understand the legal implications of prenups, ensure that the agreement is legally valid and enforceable, and draft a comprehensive and fair agreement that reflects your intentions and protects your assets.

Cohabiting Agreements

Cohabiting agreements, also known as cohabitation agreements or living together agreements, are legal contracts made between individuals who are in a cohabiting relationship but are not married or in a civil partnership.

A cohabitation agreement can cover various aspects of your relationship, including property ownership, financial contributions, child custody and support, and more. Our skilled family law solicitors can help you navigate the complexities of cohabitation law and ensure that your cohabitation agreement is legally sound and enforceable.

If you are in a cohabiting relationship and wish to establish legal protection for your rights and interests, contact us today to schedule a consultation with our family law solicitors. You can trust Jackson’s Law to provide you with expert guidance and representation in all matters related to cohabitation agreements.
