How Breakthrough Solicitors support you with divorce and separation matters
Our approach to divorce and separation depends entirely on your personal circumstances. Some cases are resolved quickly and amicably; others involve contested finances, children, or cross-border complexity that requires a more strategic approach.
At Breakthrough Solicitors, we provide clear support throughout:
- Initial consultation: We take time to understand your situation and explain how the law applies to your specific circumstances — including which of our specialist services is most relevant to you.
- Divorce application and process: We manage the divorce process from application to Final Order, ensuring every step is handled correctly and efficiently.
- Financial settlement: We help you reach and formalise a fair financial agreement — whether through negotiation, mediation, or court proceedings.
- Children and parenting arrangements: Where children are involved, we advise on arrangements for where they will live and how contact will be maintained.
- Specialist advice: For cases involving international divorce, high-value assets, specific professions, or particular personal circumstances, we provide the tailored expertise your situation requires.
- Court proceedings: Where matters cannot be resolved outside court, we provide clear advice and robust representation throughout.
Common challenges in divorce and separation — and how we help you prepare
Divorce and separation covers a broad range of legal situations — and the right starting point depends entirely on which applies to you. These are the most important distinctions to understand before taking any steps:
- Understand whether you need divorce or separation: Divorce legally ends a marriage; separation does not. A separation agreement can formalise arrangements without ending the marriage — but it does not provide the same legal protection as a court order.
- Civil partnership dissolution follows a similar process to divorce: If you are dissolving a civil partnership, the legal process mirrors no-fault divorce — but there are specific considerations around financial claims and children that benefit from specialist advice.
- Cohabiting couples have fewer automatic rights: Unmarried couples do not have the same legal protections as married couples on separation. Understanding your rights early — before assets are moved or decisions are made — is essential.
- The divorce process and the financial settlement are separate: Obtaining a Final Order ends the marriage — it does not resolve financial matters. Without a court-approved financial order, future claims remain possible.
- Specialist circumstances require specialist advice: Military divorce, international cases, high net worth situations, and same-sex divorce each carry distinct legal considerations that a general divorce solicitor may not be best placed to handle.
Your rights and options in divorce and separation — and how our solicitors support you
Every individual going through divorce or separation has the right to clear legal advice and fair representation, whatever their circumstances. We help you:
- Apply for divorce or respond to a divorce application made by your spouse
- Negotiate and formalise a financial settlement through a consent order or financial remedy order
- Resolve arrangements for children, including where they will live and how contact will be maintained
- Address the specific complexities of international, same-sex, military, or high net worth divorce
- Protect your financial position through asset freezing or other injunctive relief where necessary
- Explore mediation and alternative dispute resolution as a constructive alternative to court proceedings
- Obtain specialist advice tailored to your profession, background, or personal circumstances
Our divorce and separation solicitors guide you through the process as efficiently and constructively as possible — protecting your interests and helping you move forward with confidence.
