Financial Settlement

Financial Settlement

Reaching a financial settlement is often the most difficult issue to resolve when a marriage or civil partnership breaks down. The settlement reached can determine your long term financial position.

What if we have reached a settlement ourselves?

You can enter into a Consent Order or a Separation Agreement

What if we cannot reach an agreement?

Even if parties try to reach an agreement, sometimes there are issues that cannot be agreed. There are various ways to try and resolve the dispute such as mediation, the collaborative process or negotiations through solicitors.  However, some situations need court proceedings before a settlement can be reached. If court proceedings are required, the divorce will need to be started.

At any point during the court process the parties can come to an agreement and record the agreement in a Consent Order.

Our solicitors try to resolve financial matters as amicably as possible, and where court proceedings are needed we advise and assist throughout.
