Divorce financial settlements

Agreeing on how to split finances with your ex-partner is an inevitable part of divorce. This can be a complex and often legally confusing process that requires specialist legal consultation. Our divorce financial settlement solicitors in Tunbridge Wells will handle these situations with professionalism.

At Family Law Partners, we can provide tailored, bespoke advice for your situation to protect your assets and finances and ensure your share of the settlement is fair. If any discrepancies are raised during the process, for instance, if you believe your ex-spouse lied about their financial situation, we will investigate thoroughly.

Voluntary financial agreements

If necessary, our team can help you reach a voluntary financial agreement after assessing your options. This will involve using an alternative dispute resolution method, such as mediation or collaborative law, to enable both parties to reach a mutually agreeable solution.

Our divorce lawyers will ensure you are fairly represented and that your wishes are their utmost priority. Our divorce lawyers are part of Resolution, a national group who are dedicated to mitigating disputes during divorce.

Financial Orders

If alternative dispute resolution is unsuccessful in determining a suitable divorce settlement with your ex-partner, you may need to attend court for a financial order.

Issues such as prior conflict or a complex divorce can cause both parties to reach an impasse.

This is where the court will assess the situation before deciding the fairest way to split any finances and marital assets between you.

Financial orders cover a variety of assets, including:

  • Savings
  • Property
  • Pensions
  • Investments
  • Child maintenance payments

At Family Law Partners, our divorce settlement lawyers in Tunbridge Wells have an excellent record of achieving positive results for our clients. You can enter court proceedings with the confidence that you will be supported throughout.

Frequently asked questions about financial settlements

How does a divorce financial settlement work?

A financial agreement in divorce works as a legal agreement to determine how a couple’s finances are split.

It is lawful to split the finances fairly, so it is essential to seek professional legal advice to ensure this is done correctly.

Divorce financial settlements are not just capital-related; they also include property, investments, pensions, child support, spousal maintenance agreements, and more.

If this settlement cannot be reached outside of court (using an alternative dispute method or otherwise), the settlement will be taken to court for a financial order, where a ruling will be made on the settlement.

What will I be entitled to in a divorce settlement?

Your entitlement depends on a variety of factors. By the law in England and Wales, you will likely be permitted a share of the marital pot, including any savings, investments, properties, and pensions acquired or accrued during the marriage.

If court proceedings are required, the judge will operate with fairness as an absolute priority.

You have more choices than you might think

We are committed to advising you of all the options available to you, and (unlike other family lawyers) will support you with solutions that avoid the traditional court process.
