The matrimonial finances in a marriage can be complicated and when there is a relationship breakdown it can be difficult to know how all the assets and liabilities should be divided. When there are children involved the situation can become further complicated and stressful for everyone.
Matrimonial Financial Matters usually deal with:
- Property
- Spousal maintenance
- Savings
- Pensions
- High value assets
Matrimonial financial matters are dealt with separately to the divorce proceedings, and a court application for a financial order may become necessary in circumstances when the parties are unable to reach an agreement. Financial applications can be expensive and parties are encouraged to attempt a settlement through negotiations with the exchange of financial information. This can be achieved using experienced solicitors or alternatively through mediation.
We undertake an initial assessment process where we assess your assets and what you are likely to be entitled to. We will advise you as to how you should progress your case to achieve those outcomes and propose a plan.
If after our involvement or following mediation you agree a settlement then we will undertake all of the work to put that consent order in place and approved by a District Judge. We can undertake a no asset clean break for a reduced cost.
If you have to make a Financial Order application at court we will assess exactly what the appropriate fee should be based on your assets and the complexities of your particular case. Those costs can then be broken down between Stages as your case proceeds and of course we will have our experienced eye on getting you a resolution wherever possible before any final hearing.
