What happens to the family home after divorce?
It is not always sold, and there is no automatic rule about who keeps it.
In England and Wales, the court looks at fairness, children’s housing needs, affordability and each person’s circumstances.

Are divorce assets always split 50/50?
No. In England and Wales, the court looks at what is fair, not just equal.
Income, property, pensions, children’s needs and the length of the marriage can all affect the outcome.

Almost two years as our client services executive , but sadly we say goodbye to Tia as she moves on to a new career path. Tia helped make a real difference to how our clients experience this firm 💯

She brought warmth, professionalism, and genuine care to every interaction with our clients and was a great, lively energy in the office 🤸🏻‍♂️

We're rooting for everything that comes next and we're sure she'll excel in her new path 🔥

Here's what she had to say about her time with us:

"I've genuinely loved my time here and feel incredibly grateful for the experiences, opportunities, and, most importantly, the people I've had the chance to work with. It's been such a rewarding journey, and I've learned so much along the way.

While I'm excited for what's next, I'll really miss being part of this team, I've learned so much from such a talented and kind group of people, and I'll carry those lessons with me moving forward.

southgate solicitors will always hold a special place in my heart, thank you for making my time here so wonderful and unforgettable."
