Our family law services are tailored to meet your specific needs, whether you’re seeking a simplified divorce, resolving financial or childcare arrangements through an undefended divorce, or formalising agreements with a fixed fee.

Our team is committed to offering practical, compassionate, and cost-effective solutions, ensuring a smooth and stress-free legal experience.

Simplified Divorce

This is where no financial or child orders are sought and where either one or two years separation has taken place.

Undefended Ordinary procedure Divorce

We only offer this type of divorce where arrangements for the childcare of any children under 16 are agreed between the parties and where division of the matrimonial property has also been agreed.

Minutes of Agreement

This is where these are straightforward and the parties have agreed the content of these we can offer a fixed fee. These can include agreements for married, cohabitants, civil partnerships.

Pre nuptial agreements and Post nuptial agreements.

Pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements are invaluable tools for protecting your financial interests and providing clarity in your relationship. A pre-nuptial agreement is made before marriage or a civil partnership, outlining how assets will be divided in the event of separation, while a post-nuptial agreement is created after the union has taken place. Both agreements offer peace of mind by ensuring transparency and reducing potential disputes. At Maloco Mowat Parker we can help you draft clear, legally sound agreements tailored to your unique circumstances, securing your future with confidence.

FAQs

What is a Power of Attorney?

A legal document is signed by you at the present time, designating a trusted individual to make choices on your behalf in case you become incapable of making such decisions for yourself in the future.

Why should I make a Power of Attorney?

A Will guarantees the allocation of your assets based on your desires upon your demise, while a Power of Attorney safeguards your wealth during your lifetime. Having a Power of Attorney is equally vital as having a Will – it’s essential for everyone to possess one.

Is there a limit to how many people I have as my Attorney?

No, there is no limit to the number of individuals you can appoint as your attorney, provided they are at least 16 years of age. However, you need to specify if they should collaborate or act independently when making choices for you.

When does a Power of Attorney start?

You can grant your attorney(s) the power to manage your financial affairs immediately upon registering the document, or you can withhold this authority until you’re mentally incapable of making your own choices. The ability to make welfare decisions can only be exercised when you’re unable to decide on your own well-being.

Can I amend or cancel my POA?

Yes, for as long as you are able to make decisions, you can amend your POA at any time. As long as you have mental capacity you can also cancel your POA at any given time.
