Divorce and Financial Settlements

One of the most important parts of divorce is resolving financial matters properly. This can include:

  • the family home
  • savings
  • debts
  • pensions
  • business interests
  • spousal maintenance
  • clean break arrangements

If you and your spouse are able to agree a financial settlement, that agreement should usually be recorded in a consent order and approved by the court so that it becomes legally binding.

If you cannot agree, it may be necessary to make an application to the court for a financial order.

Divorce Where Children Are Involved

If you have children, divorce often raises additional concerns about:

  • where the children will live
  • how much time they will spend with each parent
  • schooling
  • holidays
  • communication between parents
  • financial support

The legal divorce process is separate from arrangements for children, but the two often need to be dealt with alongside each other in practice.
If needed, we can advise you on:

  • child arrangements
  • parental responsibility
  • specific issues such as schooling or relocation
  • resolving disputes through negotiation, mediation or court proceedings

Find out more on children arrangements.

 

Do I Have To Go To Court?

Not every divorce or separation issue needs to be resolved through contested court proceedings. There are a number of alternatives to court and that many issues arising from separation can be addressed through non-court processes.

However, court may still be necessary in some cases, especially where there is:

  • non-cooperation
  • urgency
  • safeguarding concerns
  • complex finances
  • dispute over property or pensions

Our divorce solicitors can help you choose the most appropriate route for your circumstances.

Divorce Solicitors London Frequently Asked Questions

Some couples believe that after a long separation, they have lost all financial and emotional ties. Some people think it makes more financial sense to separate instead of divorcing. This can help save money on the divorce process, especially if they have separated peacefully.

There are many pitfalls to think about. We cover these in our advice article, “What Happens If You’re Separated But Not Divorced?”

You do not have to instruct a solicitor to apply for a divorce, but legal advice is often important. A divorce legally ends the marriage, but it does not automatically resolve financial issues or children arrangements. For many clients, that is where expert legal advice makes the biggest difference.

On average, a divorce in London takes around 8–10 months to complete.
However, timescales can vary depending on whether both parties agree on the divorce, how quickly financial arrangements are resolved and court processing times. More complex cases, particularly those involving children or significant assets, may take longer.

In most cases, a business will be taken into account as part of the overall financial settlement. The value of a business—particularly if it has grown during the marriage—is usually treated as part of the matrimonial asset pool, alongside property, savings, and pensions, even if your spouse was not directly involved. Because every case is unique, specialist legal advice is essential to ensure your interests are protected.

Yes. Many divorces can be resolved amicably without the need for a contested court hearing.
