Finances on Divorce or Separation

When you are riding the emotional roller coaster of divorce or separation, making decisions for yours and your Family’s financial future can feel stressful and difficult. 

We can help you navigate the ‘limbo’ before final decisions are taken and help you find the right path to get to solutions in an effective and practical way, with our different fee solutions ensuring you can do so at a budget that works for you.

With our help, the majority of our clients are able to find a solution without resorting to court. However, we will never encourage you to settle for less than you deserve. If you are unable to come to an agreement out of court for whatever reason, we can help you apply for a financial order.

We will:

  • Discuss all possible financial arrangements with you from ‘what happens with the family home’ to resolving bank accounts, investments, debts, income discrepancies and pension issues and advise you of your options to empower you to make informed choices. 

     

  • Explain how the law deals with all aspects of financial arrangements that are relevant to you, and we will do so in a clear and no-nonsense way.

     

  • Explain the process of financial disclosure and, if agreement can be reached, the format the agreement should take and assist in implementing any agreement.

     

  • Advise you on applications which can be made to the Court if agreement cannot be reached either following negotiation or other attempts to resolve matters out of Court, because we understand that not all cases can and indeed should be resolved without court intervention on some level.

     

  • Provide advice on timescales for completion of work and transparency on your legal costs to enable you to budget and remain informed throughout.

 

We offer different service levels, so you can choose what is right for you.

We can be by your side every step of the way on our 'Pay as You Go' fees option, or you may prefer to choose a more budget friendly option with our ‘Essentials’ fixed fee services.

If you are unsure which service level is right for you, or just want to get bespoke clear advice from the outset, we offer an initial Fixed Fee Meeting for just £150 + VAT. Call us on 0151 229 1170 or complete this short form and one of the team will be in touch with you to arrange this.
