This area covers arranging financial settlements on divorce or dissolution, including division of assets, pensions, housing and maintenance. A solicitor helps you reach a final, binding agreement or court order that adjusts property ownership, savings and income, and secures a clean break where possible. They draft and negotiate consent orders, prepare disclosures, assess pensions rights, and handle applications to the court under the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973. They represent you in meetings, negotiations, and, if needed, in court proceedings.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
The solicitor handles the provisions, structures, and complexities of matrimonial finances—valua tions, property transfers, pensions, and spousal or child maintenance—while coordinating with financial advisors, actuaries, and the other party. They manage timelines, disclosure, potential disputes, and ensure enforceable orders that reflect the parties’ assets and rights in a way that complies with the Court of Appeal and the Family Court rules.
