Part of the divorce process, the resolving of financial matters is actually handled as a separate matter. This is formally referred to as ‘Ancillary Relief’.
In our experience, the provision of finances can be dealt with through careful negotiation. Court should be seen only as the last option. If together we’re able to get such an agreement early on, it will be incorporated into an Order of the Court, formally known as a Consent Order.
Normally, cases only go to Court if circumstances are complicated, where there are high value assets involved or if your partner is not being open about their assets. In such tricky situations, we do our utmost to protect your position to ensure a successful, swift and satisfactory conclusion is reached.
If you’re confused about any legal jargon or legal instruction, see our ‘Glossary of Divorce and Family Law Terms’ in our ‘Store Cupboard’. And for a practical guide, see Life After Divorce.
