It can be very reassuring to get clear straightforward advice about all of these very important and complicated issues.
We can help you to get:
Financial support from the other spouse to assist you until a final settlement is reached.
An order to transfer the home to you, or an order to sell the property if this is what you want.
We can obtain an order so that your spouse has to pay you a lump sum.
We can obtain an order that makes your spouse pay a contribution towards your legal costs.
We can also obtain a pension sharing order so that your spouse has to give a percentage of their pension to you. This can deal with pensions that your spouse is already receiving or still paying into. After the family home, the pension can be one of the most valuable assets.
We can also advise you about financial provision for step children.
We offer fixed fees and payments by instalments if required.
The agreements can set out what you want to happen with your assets if your marriage breaks down in the future. If you have your own assets, for example a house, which you want to protect these agreements can give you piece of mind and can protect the financial interests of children you may already have from previous relationships or marriage.
Do not be tempted to “do it yourself”. These agreements are unlikely to be upheld by the court if you have not had legal advice or if the document is not drafted properly. If both parties are certain that they wish to enter into such agreements, they must be made aware of the uncertainties.
If you enter into a separation agreement with your spouse or civil partner this can be a way of recording what you have both agreed about the finances and when you do come to divorce, the terms of the agreement are normally incorporated into a final consent order.
