Divorce Settlements and Financial Matters

Our divorce settlement lawyers are members of Resolution, which means that we’re committed to taking a constructive and cost-effective approach to family matters.

We’re collaborative wherever we can be and conciliatory when we need to be. We aim to reduce conflict wherever possible.

However, we are firm and robust when it comes to protecting your interests and achieving your top priorities.

If a collaborative approach is stalling negotiations, we’re proactive in applying to court for orders. That way, your financial divorce settlement proceedings continue swiftly, but we always have an eye on your costs and will tell you if your costs are disproportionate to what you want to achieve.

No, not necessarily. Not all divorces need to be fought out in court. We can explore mediation and arbitration to reach a settlement and we will represent you and your interests in these negotiations.

First, we look at your own financial situation. What assets, savings, investments, pensions, and debts do you have? Then we enter negotiations with your ex-spouse.

We work closely with you to agree on a strategy for those negotiations. We can be firm but conciliatory, or take a hard line on your non-negotiables.

If negotiations end in deadlock, we can apply to court to find a settlement deemed fair by a judge.

Where we think your ex-spouse may be concealing assets, we can apply for disclosure orders from the court. Or if it appears that valuations have been downplayed, we can instruct experts to give an accurate assessment.
