Pre-Nuptial/Post-Nuptial & Separation Agreements

It is important to safeguard your assets against a future claim in divorce or dissolution proceedings. A pre-nuptial/post-nuptial or separation agreement is designed to protect you, give you peace of mind about your financial arrangements and help you to avoid lengthy, costly and distressing litigation when a relationship breaks down in the future. Our team of divorce lawyers can advise you about the potential future risks given your circumstances.

  • How will our team of family solicitors work with you?

    • Pre-nuptial agreements: written agreements entered into by a couple before their marriage or civil partnership.
    • Post-nuptial agreements: written agreements entered into by a couple after their marriage or civil partnership has taken place.
    • Separation agreements: written agreements entered into by a couple following the breakdown of their relationship but before divorce or dissolution proceedings.

  • How can we help?

    Nuptial agreements are relevant for couples who have a significant disparity in either income or capital and are especially useful where one of the parties has children from an earlier relationship.


    Ash Hill family Solicitors can provide you with specialist advice in respect of all aspects of preparation and completion of a nuptial agreement.  

Unmarried Couple Agreements & Co-Habitation Disputes

Many young couples are choosing to hold off on a marriage ceremony until finances allow and are cohabiting first. Whether the decision to cohabit is based on economical or emotional reasons, it’s a sensible choice for those who aren’t ready for marriage or fear the fallout of divorce. However, if your relationship breaks down during the time of cohabitation, understanding your legal position in advance and making arrangements for such an event can benefit you in the long term. Under such circumstances you will need advice from an expert family solicitor.


The law relating to couples who live together is not the same as the law that applies to married couples or those in a civil partnership. This is a complex area of law and obtaining early specialist advice is of great importance. You will need advice from family solicitors that are committed to resolving your issues sensitively and can provide specialist advice on this complicated and challenging area of law. Ash Hill Family solicitors can explain the legal implications and help you to plan for the future.

What is a Cohabitation Agreement?

It is important for you to be informed about your legal position if you and your partner start living together. 


This information can help you decide if you should enter a cohabitation agreement. These can be used to set out arrangements during a relationship, for example who is to pay utility bills etc, and to determine issues at the end of a relationship such as division of contents and sale of a property.


You may wish to agree on the circumstances in which, on relationship breakdown, you may be able to obtain additional financial support for children under Schedule 1 of the Children Act 1989.


Set out provisions about jointly owned assets, assets owned by your former partner that you have contributed to or which you have been promised a share.


Ash Hill Family Solicitors is also able to offer advice about alternative ways of resolving disputes arising from separation including mediation and arbitration.

  • How can we help you?

    Whatever your situation, we have the experience and legal expertise to help you choose the right options to protect your interests. At Ash Hill Solicitors we can help you with all aspects of cohabitation, giving you complete peace of mind about living together as an unmarried couple.  Our team of family solicitors shall discuss all options with you to ascertain which avenues are relevant to your personal circumstances.  


    A cohabitation agreement (also sometimes known as a ‘living together agreement’) allows you to set out the rights and responsibilities of each partner. They are particularly recommended if buying property together without getting married or entering a civil partnership.


    Without a cohabitation agreement, a partner whose name is not on the title deeds will have no legal right to the property, even if they have lived there for years and contributed to the mortgage.  Our specialist family solicitors will always keep you informed about your options, not only prior to moving in but at any point during cohabitation.
