Ending a marriage or civil partnership can be highly stressful. Apart from emotional issues there are practical matters that have to be dealt with – such as finances, property or business interests. And, of course, if there are children involved their interests are paramount. 

There are many decisions that have to be taken, all at a time when you are experiencing extreme pressure. Getting early advice from specialist divorce solicitors is key to put yourself in the best position and avoid any tax pitfalls you may be unaware of.
