One of the consequences of a divorce is having to separate family assets and consider whether there should be any ongoing financial commitments. It is often the trickiest aspect of a marriage breakdown to resolve and the resolution has to be tailored to each family’s situation. Finding the right solution is rarely straightforward but our expert divorce lawyers can help – and we are highly experienced in negotiating financial claims on divorce (including pensions and business assets), including complex and high net worth cases.
Not all cases involve going to court and it is often possible to reach a settlement without having to issue court proceedings, and even in cases where proceedings are issued, the majority do not proceed all the way to trial.
However, as marriage breakdown heightens tension and can create mistrust, we aim to find the most appropriate method to reach a resolution. That does not necessarily mean litigation and may involve alternative methods of dispute resolution. Sometimes an early settlement can be reached, but that is not always possible where finances are complex and need to be investigated, or people have entrenched views. Whether matters are resolved quickly or take longer, we provide advice, guidance and support every step of the way.
