Request A CallbackHow are assets divided in a divorce?
In England and Wales, there is no automatic 50/50 split of assets. The court considers various factors including the length of the marriage, financial needs, earning capacity, contributions, and the welfare of any children. There is consideration of the nature and type of assets, how and when it was brought into the marriage. Our solicitors can advise on the likely outcome based on your specific circumstances and help you negotiate a fair settlement.
How long does it take to reach a financial settlement?
The timeframe varies depending on the complexity of your financial affairs and the level of cooperation between parties. Straightforward cases with agreed settlements might be resolved within 3-6 months, while complex cases involving court proceedings can take 12-24 months. Our team works efficiently to progress your case as quickly as possible.
Do I have to go to court to get a financial settlement?
No, many financial settlements are reached through negotiation, mediation, or collaborative law without court involvement. However, if agreement cannot be reached, an application to court may be necessary. Even when court proceedings are initiated, most cases settle before a final hearing.
