Divorce in farming families brings specific and often complex challenges around the ownership of assets and how the income from these is shared. With our knowledge of the farming sector and the experience of serving many clients who have been with us over generations, we will work to protect your wealth and assets with the least possible disruption to your family or business.
We can help you plan to protect your family’s interests with the creation of a partnership agreement or trust, while pre-nuptial agreements can protect assets before a relationship started. You should also consider which of the family assets are matrimonial or non-matrimonial such as when a farm has been inherited by one spouse, which can be important in determining the division of assets.
The welfare of any children in the marriage or partnership is always the prime consideration in any divorce proceedings. Our family law solicitors have the knowledge and experience to help your family deal with the issues that come from the relationship breakdown and impact this can have on children.
