This work covers requests to alter or revise a financial settlement arising from a family separation or divorce. A solicitor helps with applications to change orders for lump sums, property adjustments, or ongoing maintenance under the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973 and related family legislation, where circumstances have changed since the final order. They gather financial information, draft court applications, advise on timing and prospects, and represent the client at court or in negotiations with the other party.
Where a solicitor protects your position
A change can have lasting implications for housing, income security, and tax. A solicitor explains the risks of delaying applications, ensures deadlines are met, and prepares the evidence needed to show why changing the order is warranted, such as changes in income, health, or needs. They navigate court requirements, potential settlements, and any necessary mandatory disclosures to protect the client’s position.
