Financial Matters

Where there is a divorce, both parties to the marriage have financial and property claims against each other. Often an agreement or financial settlement can be reached outside of Court and we have considerable experience in negotiating settlements which are suited to individual needs and circumstances.

Assets to be dealt with can often include properties, businesses, pensions, inheritances, savings and investments and also income.

How these are divided and shared between parties upon a divorce depends on many factors and this is a complex and ever-changing area of law. Our experienced family lawyers can give you expert advice from the outset and guide and assist you at every step of the way.

Financial settlements can be achieved in many different ways, such as discussions between parties, at mediation, negotiations between solicitors, or through Court proceedings. We will help all of our clients to achieve the best result in the most cost-effective way possible.

If you have come to an agreement with your spouse directly as to how you are going to divide your finances then we can assist you to put this into legally binding effect.

We can also provide practical advice to help the financial strain of separation, including your rights before and after divorce.
