Same Sex Divorce Lawyers

Our same sex divorce lawyers know what you’re going through. We understand how hard it might be to walk away from an institution like marriage, which you and your friends campaigned for.

We also understand how blunt the law can be in this area. The historic denial of legal status for same sex couples can create all kinds of problems when relationships break down. Couples who haven’t married when they’d have liked to, because they weren’t allowed, may get different legal treatment to an equivalent heterosexual couple. It all depends on how formalised your relationship is.

We’ve been at the forefront of the discussion to modernise the law. We regularly lecture and write on the legal issues facing the LGBT+ community. We also have experience taking test cases to the highest courts in England & Wales.

We represented our client, Ms Roocroft, in landmark case at the Court of Appeal. This case confirmed that same sex couples have the same rights to financial disclosure on divorce/civil partnership dissolution.

Our lawyers specialise in cases involving:

• High net worth individuals
• Business owners
• Executives
• Professionals.

These cases will often involve considerable wealth, which may be split across several countries. We’re experts in this area and can draw on colleagues from other specialist areas to help, such as our Wills, Trusts & Estates team.

If you have children we can help negotiate contact arrangements and maintenance payments. We can help with this whether your children are with your spouse/civil partner, or from a previous relationship.
