6 Legal help Your financial circumstances may mean that you are entitled to legal aid to help fund the work we do on your behalf. We will discuss this option with you if you are likely to be eligible and carry out an assessment to confirm whether you will qualify for legal aid. More information on legal aid and an eligibility calculator can be found on under the section Government, citizens and rights - Getting legal advice. Finances Obtaining a divorce ends your marriage but does not end your financial ties. Most couples will have financial issues to resolve such as what is to happen to the house, how savings are to be divided, maintenance, whether pensions are to be shared or who is to be responsible for any debts. We are here to advise you as to the options available and help achieve the best outcome for you. Even if you have agreed matters between you or there are no financial issues to deal with, your financial claims against each other remain open and without a final or clean break order your husband or wife could make claims for maintenance, capital or part of your pension and your future financial security could be vulnerable. Alongside our tailored service we offer two fixed price packages where matters are agreed between you. Children Although your relationship as a couple may have ended where you have children you will have a continuing relationship as parents. It is not always possible to agree what is best for the children and how they should spend their time between you. There may be other issues such as schooling or contact with grandparents that need to be resolved. We can help you sort these problems out whether through mediation, negotiation or the Court process where this is absolutely necessary. Domestic abuse Domestic abuse takes many forms and can be experienced by both women and men in a relationship. We have specialists who can help and talk through your options. Injunction orders may be available but other practical steps can be taken such as keeping your address confidential in divorce proceedings or helping you sort out contact so that you and the children are safe.

7 Fixed price optional extras Some people want to change their name following a marriage breakdown and we can prepare the change of name deed for you. Your change of circumstances means that you need advice on a new Will and if you have never made a Will you should take this opportunity to do so.
