A straightforward divorce typically takes 6 to 12 months. Contested divorces or those involving complex financial settlements can take longer. MKK Solicitors works to resolve matters as efficiently as possible.

Ancillary relief — now formally called a "financial remedy order" — refers to the court process of dividing finances, property, pensions, and assets after divorce. MKK Solicitors provides expert representation in these proceedings.

There is no fixed formula. Courts consider factors like the length of the marriage, each spouse's financial contribution, needs of any children, and earning capacity. MKK Solicitors helps ensure you receive a fair outcome.

A Child Arrangement Order is a court order setting out who a child lives with and how much time they spend with each parent. Any person with parental responsibility — typically parents — can apply. MKK Solicitors prioritises the welfare of children in all custody matters.

Parental responsibility (PR) is the legal right to make decisions about a child's upbringing. Mothers automatically have PR. Fathers have it automatically only if they are married to the mother or named on the birth certificate after 1 December 2003. MKK Solicitors can advise on obtaining PR if you do not have it.

While prenuptial agreements are not automatically legally binding in England and Wales, courts increasingly take them into account. MKK Solicitors drafts robust prenuptial and postnuptial agreements to protect your assets.

Courts can issue Non-Molestation Orders and Occupation Orders to protect victims of domestic abuse. MKK Solicitors has experience helping clients apply for emergency protection orders urgently.
