Marriage and civil partnerships
Our law firm provides comprehensive legal services for individuals and couples navigating the legal landscape of marriage, civil partnerships, and domestic partnerships. Whether planning a union or addressing complex personal and financial matters, we offer tailored guidance to protect your interests and ensure compliance with all legal requirements.
Key Services:
1. Marriage & Civil Partnership Advisory
We advise clients on the legal processes, rights, and responsibilities associated with entering into a marriage or civil partnership. This includes:
· Eligibility and legal requirements (age, consent, residency, prohibited degrees of relationship)
· Differences between marriage and civil partnership under the law
· Recognition of foreign marriages and partnerships
· Legal implications of domestic partnerships (where applicable)
2. Pre-Nuptial Agreements
Our firm assists clients in drafting and negotiating pre-nuptial agreements to clearly define the financial rights and obligations of each party before entering a marriage or civil partnership. These agreements help protect individual assets, clarify financial expectations, and can provide certainty in the event of separation.
3. Post-Nuptial Agreements
We also provide expert guidance on post-nuptial agreements, which are entered into after marriage or partnership. These agreements allow couples to reorganize financial arrangements in light of changing circumstances (e.g., children, inheritance, or business developments).
4. Validity of Marriage & Legal Requirements
Ensuring a marriage or partnership is legally valid is critical. Our services include:
· Verifying compliance with formalities (registration, ceremony requirements)
· Addressing issues such as duress, capacity, or fraudulent marriages
· Advising on annulments or declarations of invalidity where appropriate
5. Civil and Domestic Partnerships
For couples seeking alternatives to traditional marriage, we provide legal advice on the formation, rights, and dissolution of civil and domestic partnerships, ensuring clients understand the legal consequences and protections available under current legislation.
