Our solicitors offer a one-stop shop for your property buying and selling needs.
A Minute of Agreement (or separation agreement) is a procedure by which two or more parties can decide on the details of their separation without going to court. In Scotland, it must be registered in the Books of Council and Session for it to be enforceable. It can be used by cohabiting couples who are separating, or married couples who wish to separate but who don’t want to divorce.
A Minute of Agreement can cover all aspects of a partnership, such as childcare arrangements, bill payments, savings, debt, child maintenance payments, who should reside in the family home and who pays the mortgage. Our solicitors will be able to ask any questions you may have surrounding a Minute of Agreement. Give us a call today to arrange an appointment.

Our solicitors have many years' experience in finding solutions for families with regards to coming to an arrangement over where children of a separating couple should live and when parents should have contact with their children. Where possible, we always try to arrange residence and contact through negotiation, but where this is not possible, arrangements can be made by order of the court.
A residence order will determine the child's living arrangements. This can either be arranged where one parent has full residence of a child, or it can be shared between both parents, or another family member, depending on the circumstances.
A contact order regulates when the parents (or other family member) can have contact with the child. It can determine a frequency, and even a set time, date and place depending on the circumstances of the case.
Our approach to handling family issues is both respectful and pragmatic, with the child's best interests at the forefront of everything we do.
