Supporting you through every stage of your family law journey
Please reach us at info@citizenassist.co.uk if you cannot find an answer to your question.
A Child Arrangement Order is a legally binding court order that sets out where your child will live, how much time they will spend with each parent, and how contact will take place. It provides clarity and stability when parents cannot agree on arrangements themselves. Our team helps you negotiate or apply for an order that prioritises your child’s wellbeing.
You can apply without a solicitor, but having legal support ensures your application is clear, well‑prepared, and focused on the strongest arguments for your child’s best interests. We guide you through the process and represent you if the case goes to court.
Mediation is a voluntary process where a trained, neutral mediator helps you and your ex‑partner reach agreements about children, finances, or communication. It’s often quicker, less stressful, and more cost‑effective than going to court. We can advise you before, during, and after mediation to ensure any agreement is fair and can be formalised.
Not automatically. However, any agreement reached in mediation can be turned into a legally binding court order. We help you review the terms and draft the necessary documents to protect your long‑term interests.
A Prenuptial Agreement is a written contract made before marriage that sets out how assets, property, and finances will be divided if the relationship ends. It provides clarity, reduces conflict, and protects both partners especially where there are significant assets, businesses, or children from previous relationships.
While not automatically binding, courts increasingly uphold prenups if they are fair, transparent, and properly drafted. We ensure your agreement meets legal standards and reflects your wishes clearly.
A prenup isn’t only for high‑net‑worth individuals. It can protect future income, inheritances, or business interests, and provide certainty for both partners. Many couples choose one simply for peace of mind.
The timeline varies depending on whether issues such as finances or child arrangements are agreed. A straightforward divorce can take several months, while more complex cases may take longer. We keep the process moving efficiently and keep you informed at every stage.
Yes. Whether you’re facing communication difficulties, refusal to engage in mediation, or disputes over children or finances, we can step in to negotiate on your behalf or take the matter to court if necessary.
Costs depend on the complexity of your case and the level of support required. We offer transparent pricing, clear guidance from the outset, and cost‑effective strategies wherever possible. You’ll always know what to expect before any work begins.
