Support for financial agreements after divorce in the United Kingdom
Divorce is not only an emotional ordeal, but also a legal process that requires clear settlement of property issues between the parties. The Consultant legal marketplace team provides professional support for the conclusion of a Financial Settlement Agreement that will protect your interests and ensure a fair distribution of assets.
Why do you need a financial agreement when getting divorced?
A financial agreement after divorce is a legally binding document that determines how property, pensions, savings, income and sometimes debts will be divided between former spouses.
The absence of such a document can lead to future disputes or litigation.
Our lawyers will help you:
- analyse your assets;
- formulate fair distribution terms;
- take into account the interests of any children;
- protect your rights in court or during mediation, if necessary.
Financial disclosure: a mandatory step towards an agreement
Before signing a financial agreement, each party is required to provide a complete financial disclosure (Form E). This is detailed information about your income, assets, expenses and debts. Without transparency in financial matters, it is impossible to reach a fair solution.
Consultant's team of lawyers will:
- help you gather and correctly complete the financial disclosure statement;
- verify that the other party has provided accurate financial information;
- prepare legally sound comments or objections to the other party's financial information, if necessary.
Court approval of financial agreements (Consent Order)
Even if an agreement has been reached out of court, it must be approved by the court in the form of a Consent Order. This ensures that neither party can subsequently claim additional funds or seek a review of the terms.
We take care of:
- preparing a package of documents for the court;
- support during the application for approval of the agreement;
- communication with the court until the agreement is fully approved.
