Short marriages cover divorce financial matters where the union lasted only a brief period, so the assets, housing and pensions are divided with attention to fairness and the needs of any children. A solicitor in this area gathers financial information, helps model likely needs and shares, drafts and negotiates a financial settlement, and, if required, prepares or reviews a court application for a consent order or further court order to formalise the agreement.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The decision points in these matters are time‑sensitive and may lock in housing, pensions or other capital. A solicitor ensures proceedings reflect the short duration, protects rights to housing and income, and, where relevant, helps secure a clean break or specific pension sharing, while ensuring a legally binding order is properly drafted and lodged for enforcement.
