Separate Together
Nantes Solicitors are pleased to offer clients our ‘Separate Together’ pathway which allows one Solicitor to work with, and advise, couples jointly through their separation or divorce. ‘Separate Together’ aims to reduce unnecessary conflict when couples are resolving financial and children issues. Your Solicitor will provide joint legal advice to you both to enable you to make informed decisions together, and reach a solution. Where applicable, your Solicitor will complete the divorce application for you and prepare the Financial Remedy Order which records any financial agreement you have reached (or a Parenting Agreement/ Separation Agreement)
