What Is A Financial Settlement?
A financial settlement is the agreement reached between separating spouses about how their finances will be divided.
This typically includes:
- the family home and other property
- savings and investments
- pensions
- income and future earnings
- debts and liabilities
- spousal maintenance
Reaching a properly structured financial settlement is essential. Without a legally binding agreement, financial claims can remain open even after divorce.
Financial Settlements After Divorce In London
Divorce itself does not automatically deal with finances. A divorce solicitor can help you to create a legally binding arrangement for dividing money and property. For this a separate application to the court is required, often in the form of a consent order.
If finances are not resolved properly:
- your ex-partner may be able to bring a claim later
- you may not be fully protected financially
- disputes can arise long after the divorce is finalised
Our financial settlement solicitors help ensure your agreement is legally robust and protects your future.
Financial Settlements Involving Property
The family home is often the most valuable asset and one of the most complex issues to resolve.
Options may include:
- one party remaining in the property
- selling the property and dividing proceeds
- transferring ownership
- deferred sale arrangements (e.g. until children reach a certain age)
We provide practical advice on how to manage property disputes and achieve a workable outcome.
Pensions and Long-Term Financial Security
Pensions can be one of the most significant assets in a divorce.
Ignoring pensions can result in an unfair outcome. Financial settlements may include:
- pension sharing orders
- offsetting against other assets
We work with financial experts where necessary to ensure all assets are properly considered.
