Financial Agreements and Consent Orders
To set out the financial commitments between you and your former partner, including matters such as child maintenance and how debts will be paid moving forwards, you will need to have in place a financial agreement that sets out these obligations on divorce. Ideally, this will be carried out in the duration of the divorce proceedings so that when your divorce is finalised and if it has remained amicable, then the financial settlement and consent order may be agreed upon without having to go to court.
If there are no complicating factors and you are in complete agreement regarding your financial commitment, where you both want to be completely financially separate after your divorce, you could consider a ‘clean break’ financial agreement which completely dissolves any financial commitment you may have and your finances will be separate, with no further payments of spousal maintenance following the divorce. This is not suitable for everyone and there would be several factors to take into consideration. You should seek the advice of a specialist divorce solicitor to discuss all the available options open to you.
Court Orders
If an amicable agreement regarding your matrimonial finances cannot be reached, then our divorce solicitors will be able to provide you with practical advice regarding court orders. Regardless of whether we are representing you in court or negotiating on your behalf, we have the experience and expertise to face the most challenging legal issues.
