Resolving financial matters following your separation can be one of the more difficult areas to agree with your husband, wife or civil partner.
There are lots of different ways in which financial disputes can be resolved and your own personal circumstances will largely dictate the best approach for you.
As well as advising on financial outcomes on divorce and the dissolution of civil partnerships or unmarried relationships, we can also address the enforcement of foreign financial orders in relation to property, other assets and maintenance, and the powers of the English courts to make financial orders after an overseas divorce.
Often couples are able to resolve financial matters out of court but sometimes an application to the court for a financial order is necessary. It is important that you take legal advice as to the best option for you.
