Divorce and Financial Settlement FAQs
+Will the other party’s behaviour affect the financial division?
In most cases, the financial division during a divorce is based on fairness and practical considerations rather than the behaviour of either party. However, in rare situations where one party’s actions have significantly impacted the couple’s finances (such as fraud or reckless spending), this could be taken into account. Our experienced financial settlement solicitors can assess your situation and advise on how behaviour may affect the outcome.+We have lived together, unmarried, for 20 years. Am I entitled to half of everything?
Cohabiting couples do not have the same legal rights as married couples when it comes to dividing assets after a separation. However, you may still have a claim, particularly if you’ve contributed to property or shared finances. Our team of experts can guide you through your options to determine what financial support or division may be appropriate in your case.+Will they get more of the finances or an advantage if they start the divorce?
The financial division in a divorce is not typically influenced by who initiates the process. The focus is on achieving a fair outcome based on factors such as each party’s needs, contributions, and the welfare of any children involved. At Bennett Griffin, we can ensure your financial interests are protected, regardless of whether you or the other party started the divorce.+What assets are considered in a financial settlement?
A financial settlement typically considers all assets, including property, pensions, savings, investments, businesses, and personal belongings of significant value. It may also account for any ongoing financial commitments, such as child maintenance. Our solicitors will work with you to ensure every relevant asset is identified and factored into a fair settlement.+How long does it take to reach a financial settlement?
The timeframe for reaching a financial settlement varies depending on your case’s complexity and both parties’ willingness to cooperate. While straightforward cases may be resolved within a few months, more complex cases involving multiple assets or disputes can take longer. We aim to streamline the process wherever possible, efficiently guiding you toward a resolution.+Do I need a solicitor to agree on a financial settlement?
Although it is not a legal requirement to use a solicitor, seeking professional legal advice is highly recommended to protect your financial interests. Our skilled financial settlement solicitors can provide expert guidance, negotiate on your behalf, and draft legally binding agreements that safeguard your future.+Can we reach a financial settlement without going to court?
Yes, many couples settle their financial arrangements through negotiation, mediation, or collaborative law, avoiding the need for court proceedings. These methods can be quicker, less stressful, and more cost-effective. Our team is experienced in these alternative dispute resolution methods and can help facilitate an amicable agreement whenever possible.+How do I know what is a fair settlement?
A fair settlement considers both parties’ financial needs, contributions, and the welfare of any children. Factors such as income, earning capacity, age, and marriage length are also considered. Our experienced solicitors can evaluate your circumstances and provide tailored advice to ensure the settlement reflects fairness and sustainability.-
