Financial Issues for Married Couples
During divorce proceedings, both parties are able to apply to the Court for a number of financial orders.
The following orders are available:
- Spousal Maintenance
- Lump Sum Payment
- Sale/Transfer of Property
- Pension Share/Attachment
The starting point for dividing financial assets on divorce is an equal split. There are factors however that may weigh for or against a person in determining the final outcome. We will discuss with you what factors should be applied in your case to ensure that you achieve the best possible outcome. This area of law is complicated and it is important that specialist advice is taken. If you choose to contact Sills & Betteridge you can be reassured that you are dealing with the experts.
