When a marriage ends, sorting out the finances fairly is often the part that worries people most. We help you understand what is on the table, what a fair split looks like for your situation, and how to protect your future, including pensions, which are easy to overlook. Wherever possible we reach agreement without court, then make it legally binding. Tell us a little about your finances, and we will explain your options, from the first call.
What we can help with
Dividing property and the family home
What happens to the house, from selling and splitting to a transfer or a deferred sale, explained for your circumstances.
Pensions on divorce
Pensions are often the biggest asset after the home. We make sure they are valued and shared properly, not overlooked.
Consent orders
We turn your agreement into a legally binding consent order, so it is final and cannot be reopened later.
Financial disclosure
We guide you through the financial disclosure you both must give, so any settlement is fair and stands up.
When you cannot agree
Where agreement is not possible, we prepare and present your case through the financial court process.

Financial settlement FAQs
How is a financial settlement decided?
The court considers all the circumstances, including income, property, pensions, needs and the welfare of any children. Most couples reach an agreement with the right advice, which we make legally binding through a consent order. Where agreement is not possible, the court can decide.
Are pensions included in a divorce settlement?
Yes, and they matter. Pensions can be one of the largest assets, and there are several ways to share them, including a pension sharing order. We make sure they are properly valued and not overlooked, which can make a real difference to your future.
What happens to the family home?
It depends on your overall finances, everyone’s needs and any children. Options can include selling and dividing the proceeds, transferring it to one of you, or one of you staying until a later point such as the children finishing school. We explain what is realistic in your circumstances.
Do we have to go to court to sort out money?
Usually not. Most couples reach a financial agreement with the right advice, which we make legally binding through a consent order. Court is a last resort, for when an agreement genuinely cannot be reached.
Will I get ongoing financial support?
Sometimes, yes. Where one of you earns significantly less, the court can order spousal maintenance alongside dividing the assets, usually for a set period while you get back on your feet. We look at your income, your needs and the arrangements for the children, and tell you honestly whether maintenance is likely in your situation and roughly how it might work.
