Agreements
You may have a concern that if you divorce or separate your case is going to end up in court and be very expensive. Actually most cases are agreed and it is very important that any agreement you reach is recorded in a type of agreement document. This is so everyone knows where they stand and to avoid or limit the prospect of someone later changing their minds. Agreements are much better too because they can be quicker and cheaper compared to court cases. We can help you with this.
Agreements
The common types of agreements we can help you with:
- Separation agreement – whether or not you are married this can help resolve and document your financial settlement or arrangements for the children.
- Pre-nuptial agreement – agreeing the financial arrangements before you get married and to provide for certainty if there is a later separation
- Post-nuptial agreement – agreeing the financial arrangements during the marriage and again to provide for certainty
- Cohabitation agreement – perhaps for those who are going to start living together and so they know where they stand
- Care plan – to record the care arrangements for the children
How can we help?
It is important that we can all work together as a team to reach an agreement. Sometimes, we can ask for help from another professional, for example, a mediator, counsellor, therapist or psychologist. Communication is key and we can also arrange roundtable meetings and adopt a collaborative approach to help your resolve your case.
What our clients say about us
When it comes to the case itself, they don’t point-score. Their avowed aim is to get their clients to “Day 1” of their new lives with the best possible arrangements in place in relation to finances and children. They are sensible and do not pour fuel on any flames. A good example of this was actually where they acted on the other side in what threatened to be a very acrimonious dispute involving a business associate of mine. A sensible arrangement was arrived at and everyone got on with their lives. I have listened to countless stories in my personal and business life where the clients’ lawyers and the legal proceedings have taken over from the family break-up as the main source of grief and upset. I have never heard Maguires’ name mentioned in any of those cases and I would not expect to. – Mr S.
