Financial Agreements

Sorting out finances during divorce or separation can be one of the most complex — and emotionally charged — parts of the process. You need experienced legal support that’s pragmatic, clear, and firmly on your side.

We can help with:
• Financial disclosure
• Family mediation
• Severance of joint tenancy
• Financial settlements and asset division
• Pension, property and business arrangements
• Court proceedings

Pre-nuptial and post nuptial agreements

Planning for the future together can bring real peace of mind.

Whether you’re entering marriage or want clarity on finances mid-way through, we’ll help you agree terms fairly and constructively, with documents that secure your interests for the long term.

We can help with:
• Drafting and reviewing pre-nuptial agreements
• Post-nuptial agreements during marriage
• Protecting family wealth or business interests
• Financial clarity in second marriages
• Advice for international couples
• Legal formalities and enforcement

Cohabitation agreements

Couples who live together without marrying don’t share the same legal rights — but a well-drafted cohabitation agreement can offer protection and reduce uncertainty. We’ll guide you through the process, helping set out expectations clearly and supportively from the start.

We can help with:
• Drafting cohabitation agreements
• Defining financial contributions and ownership
• Clarifying parental responsibilities
• Advice on property rights and joint purchases
• Support following a relationship breakdown
• Updating agreements as circumstances change

Private children arrangements

When children are involved, we focus on what matters most: their wellbeing and your long-term relationship with them. We’ll help you reach practical agreements — whether through negotiation, mediation or legal proceedings — always with a sensitive, child-focused approach.

We can help with:
• Child arrangement orders (residence and contact)
• Parental responsibility and decision-making
• Relocation (within UK or abroad)
• Grandparents’ rights and contact
• Support with safeguarding or social services
• Resolving disputes through court or mediation

Everything was exactly as consulted, a comfortable experience, and the outcome was very prompt.

Rating: 5

My elderly father became gravely ill part way through the sale of his property. The team at Vincent Sykes understood the urgency to complete the sale quickly and did everything they could to get us there. They are professional and from the advice they gave I have every confidence in their legal experience. This has taken so much pressure off us as a family allowing us to focus on him in his last weeks and I wouldn’t hesitate to use them in the future.

We are very glad that James and his team were recommended to us because they were exceptional. We would definitely recommend them further.
