Separating with Pets Service

We’re the trusted legal service for separating couples. Our specialists help couples separate, reach a fair financial agreement and decide arrangements for children without using separate solicitors.

Financial contributions can be part of the conversation, alongside factors like who has been the main carer and what’s best for the pet’s welfare. Our specialists help you look at the full picture and reach an agreement that feels reasonable to both of you.

Yes. While pet arrangements aren’t legally binding on their own, we can help record what you’ve agreed as part of a broader separation agreement, so everything is documented clearly in one place.
