Divorce or separation can have a devastating effect on anyone’s finances, which is why it is important to ensure that you seek proper legal advice. There may be a minefield of financial issues to deal with including:

• Maintenance;
• Capital splits;
• Maintaining your income at a reasonable level;
• The family home and how to keep a roof over your and your children’s heads;
• Pension splitting/sharing;
• Dealing with ex partners who are trying to hide financial information;
• Problems relating to one party moving or hiding assets abroad;
• Clean breaks as opposed to ongoing financial commitments.
• Obtaining a legally binding financial settlement including a Financial Consent Order.
