We will explain the divorce/dissolution process to you, and will advise you on your rights and the options available to you.
The bad behaviour of your partner will almost always have no bearing on financial settlements.
We can provide advice on the financial aspects arising from the breakdown of your relationship.
Contrary to popular belief, there is no such thing as "common law husband and wife".
We can advise you on the legal position when you are unmarried and your relationship breaks down.
Sadly, these are commonly encountered when a relationship breakdown.

In short the procedure to obtain a divorce is quite straightforward.
There are a reasonable number of alien words which are used, but hopefully this blog will help in demystifying them.
Bear in mind that, with this ground, you must not only have an adulterous affair but also find it intolerable to live with the person.
So, if you continued to live together having tried to reconcile or lived together for a further six months after the adultery, this is not the appropriate ground.
If this is the appropriate ground then it is worthy of note that it is not common practice to name the person with whom the adultery was committed in the petition.

In reading this blog, it is suggested that any reader also looks in conjunction with the blog on divorce which sets out the procedure.
This blog will focus on the differences between the divorce and dissolution so, unless otherwise stated, the procedure is broadly the same.
Civil partnership was legalised in 2004 (entitled 'marriage in all but name') and the first full year in which civil partnership was available was 2006.
It can only be entered into by same sex couples.
Therefore a primary ground for annulling a civil partnership is if the parties were not, in fact, the same sex.

The phrases that surround a parent seeing their child or an order that the child lives with a particular parent seem to have ever changing language.
The majority of people on the street might call an order as to where a child lives 'custody'.
They often call an order that states how and when they see their child 'access' or, the American term, 'visitation'.
From 1989 until 2014, the terms were different.
What people refer to as 'custody' was actually called 'residence' and what was referred to as 'access' was called 'contact'.
