Divorce Settlements

One of the main aims of divorce settlements is dividing the assets so that each spouse has a fair divorce settlement.

While it’s a straightforward concept, it becomes complex when you get into the details. In reality, there are a number of different ways to reach a divorce settlement that is considered fair.

Where we bring value is that we listen to you to understand your aims, both short term and long term, and we have the expertise to achieve it for you. With that in mind, we help you negotiate a divorce settlement that shapes the future you really want.

The divorce settlement that’s right for you

Your financial divorce settlement isn’t just about what you’re entitled to in law. It’s about your personal circumstances and your goals for the future. We get clarity on what really matters to you most before we begin the divorce settlement negotiations.

Whatever you hope to achieve, we can find creative ways to get there. With decades of experience to draw upon, we can find a route to achieve your objectives that other lawyers may miss.

Throughout the divorce settlement process, we keep your priorities at the forefront of the negotiations.

Our approach: Constructive, collaborative, proactive

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.

Rounded legal support

The process of divorce settlement often results in other legal issues such as:

• Transferring property into a sole person’s name
• Transferring shares in a business
• Amending a Will
• Setting up Trusts

Our firm is set up to handle all of these issues (and more) and our colleagues can quickly take on these tasks without the need for you to instruct additional solicitors.

We give you a rounded service so that there are no loose ends left to tie up, and we help you reach a financial divorce settlement or obtain a financial order on a full and final basis.

Transparent on our costs

We’re in the business of talking frankly about finances and we give you the same clarity when it comes to our fees.

We are transparent on costs throughout your matter, so you always know where you stand. There are no surprises or hidden costs.

Sometimes applications to court are necessary to resolve your matter. We often prepare cost estimates prior to making a court application and in between hearings, and run these past you with clear advice so that you can make the decision that you feel most comfortable with.

Accreditations

Our divorce settlement lawyers are members Resolution, which promotes a constructive and cost-effective approach to family law issues and we can offer you Collaborative Family Law.

We also have divorce settlement experts who are Law Society Accredited and on the Law Society’s Family Law Advanced Panel.
