This area covers securing and regulating financial arrangements after separation or divorce, including how marital assets, pensions, property, income and lump sums are divided. A solicitor in this field drafts and negotiates orders and settlements under the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973 and related rules, advises on disclosure and valuation of assets, and may apply for court orders in the Family Court to formalise a financial agreement. It also covers maintenance and future financial provisions for children and dependants when appropriate.
