Financial settlements and property division
Financial Settlements & Property Division – Legal Advisory Summary
Our law firm provides expert legal advice and representation in resolving financial matters following the breakdown of a marriage or civil partnership. We help clients achieve fair and legally sound outcomes through negotiation, mediation, or court proceedings when necessary.
Financial Settlements
We guide clients through the process of reaching a legally binding financial settlement that reflects their unique circumstances. This includes:
· Assessing and disclosing income, assets, liabilities, and pensions
· Determining appropriate spousal maintenance or lump-sum payments
· Considering future financial needs, standard of living, and contributions made during the relationship
· Drafting and securing consent orders to formalise agreements
Whether matters are amicable or contested, we work to protect our clients’ financial interests and ensure long-term security and clarity.
Property Division
Dividing property can be one of the most complex aspects of separation. We advise on:
· Ownership rights and contributions to the family home or other properties
· Buy-out or sale options for jointly owned properties
· Business interests, investment properties, and inherited assets
· Protecting non-marital or pre-acquired assets where applicable
We aim to secure fair arrangements while minimising disruption, particularly where children or housing stability are involved.
Specialist Areas of Support
· High-net-worth and complex asset cases
· Hidden or non-disclosed assets
· Pension sharing and division
· Cohabitation property disputes under trust and equity law
