Our Expertise with Divorce and Finances

Reaching a Financial Settlement

When you get divorced, one of the most pressing tasks is to untangle your finances from your ex-spouse’s. A financial settlement is an agreement establishing how finances will be divided between divorcing spouses. These settlements cover assets, savings, property, pensions, debts, etc.

Whether you and your spouse agree about finances or are in dispute, we can help you disclose your assets and negotiate a voluntary financial agreement.

At Tinsdills, we can help most divorcing couples reach voluntary financial agreements without needing Court processes. In rarer cases where couples cannot reach a voluntary settlement, we can offer support and representation in Court as a last resort.

Please visit our financial settlements page to learn more about financial settlements during divorce.

Clean Break Order

A clean break order is a financial order used to cut financial ties between divorcing spouses. Obtaining a clean break affords both parties financial independence and prevents individuals from making future financial claims against their ex-partner.

Without a clean break order, either party is permitted to raise a claim on their ex-spouses’ assets later down the line, no matter how long since the divorce.

Our expert solicitors at Tinsdills can help clients obtain a clean break order to ensure their finances are well protected, both now and in the future.

Divorce and Pensions

Pensions are covered under marital assets, meaning you may be legally entitled to a portion of your partner’s pension or vice versa. There are various options to handle pensions during a divorce, including:

  • Pension offsetting– One spouse waives the right to the other’s pension and gains the right to different and equivalent assets
  • Pension sharing – Meaning that a percentage of one spouse’s pension is put into a separate pension scheme to benefit the other spouse
  • Pension attachment– The Court orders that one spouse will receive a certain percentage of the other spouse’s pension regularly

Further Advice on Finances and Divorce

As well as advice on financial settlements, child maintenance and pensions, we can also provide specialised advice on the following divorce and finance topics:

  • General advice on protecting your finances during a divorce
  • Business and divorce advice, including each spouse’s entitlements to joint or individually owned businesses and the options for dividing a business
  • Support throughout the financial disclosure process
  • Legal assistance if you believe that your spouse is hiding assets or if you’ve been accused of hiding assets
