This area covers how divorces or separations divide assets, including property, savings, pensions and maintenance, and how any pension rights are shared or earmarked. A solicitor in England who practices here handles all the financial aspects of separating couples: they gather financial information, negotiate settlements, prepare consent orders or court applications for a financial order, liaise with pension providers and other advisers, and present the case to the court when needed. They also advise on what orders can be made and their effect on the parties’ future financial position.
