You may be able to agree between yourselves what should happen with the finances or it may be deeply contentious. In either case we strongly recommend you each seek independent legal advice on what the law says should happen to your assets and income and how to make any agreement binding so that you can both move on with confidence.

We can help you by:

• Advising on options for reaching an agreement about finances, including mediation.
• Analysing financial documents to properly understand the nature and extent of your ex-partner’s assets and income.
• Advising you on the court’s approach to distributing assets and income on divorce or separation.
• Robustly representing you in correspondence, court proceedings and/or arbitration.
• Preparing or advising on a consent order or separation agreement, which formalises any agreement in a binding and enforceable way.
