Frequently asked questions
Financial settlements are based on factors such as earnings, property, pensions, childcare responsibilities and future needs. The aim is fairness rather than a strict split. Courts consider what each person requires to move forward safely and sustainably. We help you understand how these principles apply to your situation and support you in preparing evidence, negotiating terms and securing a settlement that reflects your long-term needs.
In some cases you can. Unless a consent order has been approved by the court, financial claims may still be possible. Timing and circumstances matter. We explain whether you can pursue a claim, outline any time limits and help you understand the strength of your position.
A consent order is a legally binding document that confirms your financial settlement. Without it, claims can remain open, even years after divorce. Consent orders protect both parties and offer certainty. We prepare consent orders that reflect your agreement and ensure nothing is overlooked.
Timeframes vary depending on the complexity of assets and how quickly both parties can reach agreement. Simple settlements may resolve within months while more detailed cases take longer. We help you understand expected timelines and work efficiently to keep progress steady.
Full financial disclosure is a key part of reaching a fair settlement. If your former partner withholds information, additional steps may be needed. We guide you through the process, help you request disclosure and ensure your rights are protected.
In some situations they can. Maintenance orders may be varied if circumstances change. Capital orders are harder to change. We review your settlement, explain your options and provide advice on whether variation is possible.
