"I’ve used EJ Winter several times now and am always impressed with their efficiency. Having once made the mistake of using a cheaper online firm I have learned my lesson and will only be using EJs in the future."

RELATIONSHIPS

When you take your relationship to the next level by moving in together, getting married or entering a civil partnership, there are many things to consider and lots of pitfalls. We can take the mystery out of the processes and explain all your options. Pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements are becoming more popular and are the best way to help protect any children, or property, that you may have from a previous relationship. While pre-nuptial agreements are not statutorily binding, it is unlikely that a judge would ignore their terms – unless there is a very good reason to depart from them. Though discussing failure at the start of your wedded life may seem ominous, it can often give you the peace of mind to proceed happily. Cohabitation Contracts are available for unmarried couples. They set out how you and your partner will manage your day-to-day finances. Cohabitation Contracts can include how you will share the rent or mortgage; the payment of other bills; and how to deal with any bank accounts, property or assets owned. The Contract will ensure that these issues are dealt with in the event that the relationship breaks down. To arrange a no obligation and confidential free initial discussion please call either our Reading Office on 0118 957 4424 or our Bracknell Office on 01344 53 4424.  Alternatively email sols@ejwinter.co.uk or click contact us now.

MEDIATION

Face-to-face discussions are usually the best way to resolve issues, which is why our mediation sessions are rapidly growing in popularity. You and your former partner will be able to sit down and discuss your issues and ultimately decide on terms that can be transferred into a binding agreement. Facilitated by our expert and objective mediator, you will both have the support from a legally trained mediator to help you make the right decision for you, without having to rely on lengthy emails, letters and phone calls. The process can take between two and five sessions, at the end of which you will have achieved a resolution which can in turn be translated into an agreement for both parties to comply with. If you are looking to start mediation sessions or commence proceedings regarding financial issues or children, you will need to attend a Mediation, Intake and Assessment Meeting which we offer at a fixed price of £100.00 inc. VAT. To arrange a no obligation and confidential free initial discussion please call either our Reading Office on 0118 957 4424 or our Bracknell Office on 01344 53 4424.  Alternatively email sols@ejwinter.co.uk or click contact us now.
