Divorce: Court Representation

If you’re going through a divorce and need representation at court, or you need help to negotiate, our family law experts will guide you through it.

What is negotiation and court representation?

Lots of couples going through a divorce or separation choose to negotiate through lawyers. If your relationship has ended, negotiation between lawyers can be an effective and fair way to reach a resolution. One lawyer will represent you and another lawyer will represent your ex-partner. 

Court can help you avoid complications

Divorces can on occasion run into obstacles. If this happens it might be necessary, and even helpful, to set up a formal court process. For example, it could be because negotiations, mediation or collaborative law have been unable to find a suitable settlement for your case. If you do have to move to a court process, we’re experienced in starting formal proceedings and supporting you throughout.

It’s helpful to understand that court proceedings are not necessarily a hostile step. They can be a way of ensuring your case makes progress according to a fixed timetable. Many court proceedings are resolved early, without the need for a final hearing and a decision by a judge.

Tees is deeply committed to their clients and ensuring excellence in legal knowledge and case management. They are calm under pressure and not afraid to stand up for their client’s case.

I have been told my property has development potential. What do I do?

If you’ve been contacted by a developer or a land promoter regarding a potential development to your property, you may wish to consider granting an option agreement or a promotion agreement. An option agreement is made between the landowner and the developer, where it is intended that the developer will apply for planning permission and requires an option to buy the property. A land promotion agreement is used where a developer agrees to apply for planning permission and will market the property for sale on the open market once planning permission has been obtained. This is usually in return for a proportion of the net sale proceeds. The law on this is very complex and you will need specialist advice.
