What are finances in divorce?
Finances in divorce refer to the division of assets, debts, and financial responsibilities between spouses during the dissolution of a marriage. This includes determining the equitable distribution of property, calculating spousal support or maintenance payments, and establishing child support arrangements. Expert legal advice is crucial in navigating the complex financial aspects of divorce to ensure a fair and satisfactory outcome.
What makes a financial settlement fair during divorce?
A fair financial settlement takes into account each party’s current and future needs, the duration of the marriage, standard of living during the marriage, and contributions made by each party. This includes non-financial contributions such as caring for children or managing the family home. Our solicitors ensure all relevant factors are considered to achieve a balanced outcome, especially in cases involving significant wealth, inherited assets or pre-marital contributions.
Understanding Clean Break Orders
A clean break order enables financial ties between former spouses to be completely severed post-divorce, preventing future claims. This may be appropriate where there are sufficient assets to divide without ongoing spousal maintenance. We advise on whether a clean break is suitable for your circumstances and ensure agreements are properly recorded to avoid future disputes.
Special considerations for business owners in divorce
Business assets require careful handling in divorce proceedings. We work with valuation experts to determine the true worth of a business and assess whether it is appropriate to share, transfer, or protect ownership interests. We also explore solutions such as offsetting other assets or staged financial settlements to preserve business continuity while ensuring fairness.

Frequently asked questions: Divorce and Finances
How are assets divided in a divorce?
Assets are divided based on principles of fairness, with the starting point often being an equal split. However, the court considers factors such as the welfare of any children, each party’s financial needs, earning capacity, and contributions to the marriage. Complex cases may involve adjustments based on these factors.
Will I have to share my pension?
Pensions are considered part of the matrimonial pot and may be subject to pension sharing orders, offsetting or earmarking. How pensions are handled depends on the value and importance relative to other assets. Professional valuation and legal advice are crucial in pension division.
What happens to the family home?
The outcome for the family home depends on various factors including children’s needs, financial contributions, and available assets. Options may include selling the home, transferring ownership, or one party retaining it with a deferred sale agreement.
Can we reach a financial agreement without going to court?
Yes, many couples reach financial settlements through negotiation, mediation or collaborative law approaches. These agreements can be formalised into a consent order by the court to make them legally binding.
What if my spouse is hiding assets?
If you suspect non-disclosure, we can apply for financial disclosure through the courts. Failure to fully disclose assets can result in penalties and set-aside of any agreement or order. We utilise forensic accountants when necessary to trace hidden assets.
