This area covers rights arising from marriage and civil partnership in England, including how assets and finances are managed on relationship breakdown, and the enforcement of any orders made. A solicitor in this field drafts and reviews financial settlement agreements, counsels on spousal rights, assists with divorce or dissolution proceedings, and applies for or defends orders such as pension sharing, property adjustment, and maintenance. They also gather and present financial information, advise on disclosure, and represent clients in court or via negotiations to secure a fair settlement.
