We propose a thermodynamic model of free energy expansion up to eighth order of magnetisation to describe the complex magnetic phase transitions in ferromagnetic superconductor UGe2. The model successfully describes transitions between ordered phases which take place without changing of magnetic structure but only of magnetisation which is the case of UGe2 where two magnetic phases with same structure but with different magnitude occur with decreasing of temperature. We consider the infuence of pressure on magnetic transitions in the simplest form of including it only in pressure dependence of Curie temperature for the transition between the paramagnetic and themagnetic phase with the lower magnetic moment FM1. Our results show that for pressures lower than some limiting pressure the transition betweenlow-and high-magnetisation phase remains of crossover type. Above this limiting pressure this transition changes to real thermodynamic transition of first order.
