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 legal principles have to be tailored to each family’s situation. Finding the right solution is rarely straightforward, but our advice always is.
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, many 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 mediation, negotiation or collaborative law. We will endeavour to reach an early settlement, but whether matters are resolved quickly or take longer, we provide advice, guidance and support every step of the way.
