Family & Relationship Property

Family & Relationship Property

Relationships can be challenging, particularly when it comes to a separation or divorce which is a distressing time. Adding to this emotional weight is having to divide up your assets, which is not always a simple process.

Our competent and confident team at Harris Tate can guide you through the complex division of relationship property and ensure you are protected and adequately compensated at a time when you may be feeling your most vulnerable. This includes providing advice on spousal maintenance and/or other compensation you might be entitled to based on your particular situation.

We can also advise you on putting asset protection structures in place, including contracting out agreements (pre-nups) that will help protect your wealth from potential future property relationship claims. By ‘untangling’ these issues in advance, if you separate later on you will no longer be tied to an ex-partner or spouse and can simply move forward with your life.

Do you want to start the process? Send us some key information for your separation or contracting out agreement and one of our Relationship Property lawyers will be in touch.
