Divorce and Family Finance

Divorce is a stressful experience, and disputes over how to split the family finances can drag on if they are not approached sensibly from the start. Most people want to come to an agreement with their ex, but are unsure what would be considered fair according to the law. It is common to have a lot of questions:

​

• What can I do if I think my ex is hiding assets?

• Can I protect certain assets that I brought to the marriage?

• How can I make sure I have enough to meet the needs of my children?

• Can I protect my pension?

• Is 50:50 really a fair split in my case?

​

Whatever stage your case has reached it is important you understand the answers to questions such as these. When you are fully informed you are more likely to reach an early settlement, saving yourself a lot of time and money. On the other hand, if your case does not settle you will find yourself in a stronger position at the final hearing if you have understood your case properly from the start.

​

It is always useful to arrange an early meeting to discuss your case. I can advise you on the strengths and weaknesses, and give you a road map that will help you know what to do at all future stages of your case.

I can represent you at any of the Court hearings in your case. Whether I represent you at a first hearing, a Financial Dispute Resolution, or a final hearing, I will advise you what steps to take ahead of the hearing so that we present your case at it strongest. At the hearing I will present your case to the Judge, argue your corner, and work to get the best possible outcome for you whether that is via an agreement or a judicial decision.
