Frequently asked questions: Divorce and finances
How are pensions divided during a divorce?
Pensions are carefully assessed and can be divided through pension sharing orders, pension attachment orders or pension offsetting. The approach taken depends on your specific circumstances, including pension value, age, duration of marriage, and both parties’ future financial needs.
How are business assets valued and split in divorce?
Business assets typically require expert independent valuations. Factors considered include profitability, company structure, involvement of each spouse, and industry-specific factors. Once valued, the settlement may involve asset offsetting, share transfers or ongoing maintenance arrangements.
Can inherited assets be protected in divorce settlements?
Inherited assets can sometimes be kept separate from divorce settlements, depending on how and when they were acquired and whether they have been integrated into joint marital finances. Early legal advice and careful documentation can be crucial in safeguarding inherited wealth.
What if my spouse is hiding assets during divorce negotiations?
If you suspect hidden assets, we can instruct forensic financial experts and accountants to investigate your spouse’s finances thoroughly. Courts view hiding assets seriously and have powers to compel full financial disclosure, ensuring a fair settlement.
How are international finances handled during divorce?
International assets require careful considerations regarding jurisdictional issues, tax implications, currency transfers and asset valuation complexities. We work closely with international financial advisers and specialists to ensure your overseas assets are considered and fairly managed within your divorce settlement.
Mediation and alternative dispute resolution options
In addition to traditional legal representation, our team actively encourages mediation, collaborative law and other alternative dispute resolution methods. These approaches often lead to quicker resolutions, reduced costs, less stress and more amicable outcomes. Our specialist mediators facilitate constructive dialogues, enabling both parties to reach mutually beneficial financial agreements without the need for court intervention.
