Civil Partnership Solicitors

Legal advice tailored to your family

At Hart Brown, our team are experts in guiding same-sex couples through the intricacies of family law.

For couples planning to marry or enter into a civil partnership, our solicitors offer invaluable advice on crafting prenuptial or pre-registration agreements, safeguarding your assets in the event of a relationship breakdown.

For couples opting to cohabit without marriage or a civil partnership, our solicitors provide tailored advice on cohabitation agreements. These legal documents outline provisions for potential relationship breakdowns, including property and financial arrangements. Our team can assist in articulating these agreements and facilitate open discussions with your partner to ensure mutual understanding of your legal rights.

In the unfortunate event of a relationship dissolution, our civil partnership solicitors can assist with every step of the process. From negotiating settlement agreements that include asset division, property and financial arrangements for any children involved, we prioritise your needs and the wellbeing of your family. Our goal is to tailor settlement agreements to your specific circumstances, ensuring fairness and protection for all parties.

At Hart Brown, our team of civil partnership lawyers will explain your rights and responsibilities in an understanding and straightforward way. We specialise in pre and post-civil partnership agreements, which can help to avoid disputes in the event of a dissolution or relationship breakdown.
