The Matrimonial and Family Proceedings Act 1984 covers financial remedies and related orders when a marriage or civil partnership ends. A solicitor helps you start or respond to proceedings, gather evidence of assets, draft sworn statements, apply for orders such as lump sums, periodical payments, and property adjustment orders, and negotiate consent orders. They represent you at hearings and ensure orders reflect your financial position and future needs in a high-stakes process.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The act can determine who pays, how assets are shared, and ongoing support. A solicitor explains the consequences of orders, ensures deadlines are met, and helps draft and register consent or court orders to enforce or discharge obligations.
