What If We Don't Agree?
Addresses: We don't agree on everything — does that rule this out?
Disagreeing on some points doesn't rule out joint legal advice — the process is designed to identify where you're aligned and work through the rest. If disagreement reflects a deeper conflict of interest, you'll be referred to separate solicitors instead.
Not agreeing on everything at the outset is normal, not a disqualifier. Most couples starting joint advice have some unresolved points — that’s often exactly why they’re seeking advice in the first place.
The process is built to surface where you’re already aligned and work through the rest with proper legal input. What it isn’t built for is genuine conflict: if disagreement reflects a deeper issue — concealed assets, coercion, safety — that’s when joint advice stops being appropriate, and you’d be referred toward separate solicitors instead.
