Divorce is a life-changing event. For all parties it can be a period of emotion, concern and stress. In addition, there are the immediate and ongoing financial considerations that must be addressed to ensure the financial interests of all parties are protected.

It is not our role to make value judgements on the merits of each case, but to act in the best financial interests of you, our client. Our service addresses three types of need. These are:

The Divorcee
You may be experiencing a range of emotion, from anger to feeling wronged, lonely and vulnerable. You need to start again and protect your financial interests; especially where there are dependents involved and you retain primary care responsibility. Often you require a combination of sympathy, reassurance and straight talking to ensure you are made fully aware of your present financial situation and the alternatives available to you. You need advice and practical help from someone you can trust so you can focus your efforts on starting out on your new life.

The Initiator
You are planning to divorce your spouse and need to understand the financial implications. Whilst the divorce may not be amicable you are keen to ensure your dependents are provided for and that your spouse is adequately supported. You have to take some tough decisions and you need advice about the alternatives and implications of restructuring your financial interests.

The Amicable Settlement
Both parties have come to the conclusion that the marriage is not working and have agreed on an amicable settlement. You have significant personal assets and, perhaps a profitable business that you want to continue. You need to explore all scenarios to secure your future lifestyles, to understand what assets can be shared and what is required to maintain the ongoing success of the business. You have a number of options available; understanding these options and the resulting implications will have a significant bearing upon your future financial security.
