Services
Jacky offers reasonably priced services for everyone who has experienced a relationship breakdown or who wants the protection of a prenuptial or cohabitation agreement. She will offer fixed fees and, depending on the financial situation of the client, discounted rates. Jacky specialises in dealing with financial arrangements following on from the breakdown of relationships, whether marriage, civil partnership or cohabitation.
Jacky, you were very clear in your advice; you were fair on what you felt I was entitled to and you helped to make the process less stressful than I thought it might be. You were also very easy to get along with; I think a skill that is vitally important when dealing with human emotions and life changing situations.
Mediation is a way of resolving issues between partners without the cost and stress of court proceedings. Both partners meet with a mediator who helps them to resolve matters which need to be discussed between them by overseeing any relevant financial disclosure and helping the partners to focus on the options that are available until these are narrowed down to what is best for their circumstances.
When people start to live together, they hope and believe that their relationship will last. Sadly that is not always the case. A cohabitation agreement is an agreement between cohabitants, usually entered before or soon after they start to live together, which sets out what they have agreed with each other about their finances or their children.
This is an agreement which partners can enter into before they are married to set out their agreement about what will happen with regard to finances and children in the event that the relationship breaks down. The courts in this country have had a changing view of the value and enforceability of these agreements.
