There is a range of options available to you to reach a financial settlement.
We have considerable experience dealing with all types of financial cases including, pensions, shares, assets overseas or offshore and businesses. We provide advice on the appropriate financial remedies available such as pension sharing agreements and maintenance orders.
In order to fully advise on how the family assets should be divided, we will endeavour to obtain full financial disclosure from your partner, summarising their capital, pensions and incomes. We will provide practical advice on the likely outcome should the matter go to court and then aim to negotiate a settlement on your behalf to ensure a fair settlement is reached. We will always do our very best to reach an agreement out of court and can assist you through direct negotiations between solicitors. Alternatively, we can represent you through mediation and collaborative law.
If an agreement can be reached we can incorporate it into an agreed Financial Remedy Order also known as a Consent Order. This Order can then be lodged with the court for their approval.
If an agreement cannot be reached, either party can issue court proceedings and we will be able to represent you during the court proceedings.
