Resolving your finances when you separate or divorce can be a real challenge and a highly stressful process which can, on occasion, cause considerable disagreement.
We are committed to helping you resolve any issues regarding the division of matrimonial/civil partnership finances amicably, wherever possible by sensible negotiation held in a non-confrontational manner.
Finances can be complex and encompass many different aspects that are important to you, such as housing (whether rented or owner occupied), income, payment of debts, investments, investment properties, child and spousal maintenance, and the division of pensions. We are here to help and advise you and to ensure that all aspects of the family finances are disclosed before assisting with negotiation to achieve an agreement.
In order to achieve a fair financial settlement, we consider the entire financial picture of both you and your partner. We analyse all the available financial data before advising you on what a fair and sensible settlement might be.
We have the expertise and resources to assist and guide you through this process.
If you reach an agreement we will draw up a financial consent order. This will be sent to a Court so that a Judge can check that it is fair and meets needs. Once approved by a Judge it will become a legally binding order and you can then begin to move on independently with a fresh start.
Dividing up your finances and ensuring that you are treated fairly is important for you and to us. We will try to negotiate the best possible outcome that we can for you without the need for contested Court Proceedings.
If, however, this is not achievable, we are able to advise and guide you through the Court process for resolving financial disputes. We explain what steps you need to take in order to resolve any financial dispute by application to the Court. Even if you have to start financial remedy proceedings most cases still settle before you reach a final trial when a Judge decides on how finances are divided.
We are here to protect your financial future and help you achieve a fair result.
