Divorce, Marriage and Relationship Forms

This section contains a range of standard legal documents that cover a range of relationship situations including:

Living Together

If you are thinking of living with your partner as an unmarried couple then you may wish to draw up a Cohabitation Agreement to establish the financial terms of your relationship.

Civil Partnerships

If you are planning on entering into a civil partnership with your same-sex partner then you may wish to draw up a Pre-Civil Partnership Agreement to outline how you would like assets to be divided should your relationship break down some time in the future.

Marriage

If you are planning to marry then you may wish to draw up a Prenuptial (or Premarital) Agreement to outline how you would like assets to be divided should the marriage break down some time in the future.

Separation

If having married, you and your spouse now wish to separate, you may find a Separation Agreement useful to record any financial arrangements you have agreed as a result of your decision to separate.

Divorce

If having married, you now seek a divorce, then you may find our divorce section useful. The divorce process can be more complicated than many people might imagine. This is particularly the case where there are disputes over care of children and division of assets or future income. In some circumstances a simple divorce may be possible using standard forms and by following the procedure as prescribed by the court. We offer the necessary forms and guidance notes.

The English and Scottish courts have different divorce procedures. If you would like more information about the process and the forms you will need for a simple divorce please choose either Divorce (England and Wales) or Divorce (Scotland) (depending on where you live).

Parental Responsibility Rights

If you are the unmarried father of a child and do not have Parental Responsibility rights, or not sure whether you do or not, then you may find our section on Parental Responsibility useful. We provide information about who can obtain such rights, how to apply and a free copy of the necessary form.

Change of Name

If you wish to change your name (perhaps as the result of divorce or re-marriage) or the name of any children for which you are a legal guardian then you may wish to record the change of name by Deed Poll. We offer Change of Name Deed documents suitable for use by UK residents.
