Divorce Lawyers: Financial Settlements
One of the most important elements of a divorce is the financial settlement. The terms of this agreement will define to a great extent your living standard after the divorce.
The London financial settlement solicitors at Rollingsons Solicitors deliver comprehensive advice and solutions on all aspects of financial matters arising out of a divorce. We are experienced in representing clients with significant assets and income and in working out the complexities often involved in high net worth divorces.
We will help you work toward an amicable settlement of financial matters out of court if that is possible. If not, we will guide you through the court process, protecting your interests every step of the way. We can help with:
- Maintenance payments on an interim basis pending the conclusion of the financial matters
- Financial disclosure whether on a voluntary or formal court proceedings basis
- Child and spousal maintenance
- Pensions and pension sharing
- Dealing with the family home, other properties, the family business, shares and other assets whether in joint names or in sole names
- Other financial provisions arising from the breakdown of a marriage
- Inheritance claims
The law surrounding financial matters is based upon the exercise of a judge's discretion, taking into account a number of factors prescribed by legislation and case law. We are able to ascertain how a judge may exercise his or her discretion using these factors in your individual case, allowing for constructive negotiations to take place. These factors include the length of the marriage, the age of both parties, the earnings or earning potential of both parties, and the welfare of the children, among many others.
Asset Protection and Document Disclosure
We deliver comprehensive advice and solutions on asset protection. We work to ensure that full and frank financial disclosure is made and that assets are not sold or transferred to others by the other spouse. Our solicitors are experienced in so-called Hildebrand documents and the mechanisms for handling issues that involve the non-disclosure of documents which were obtained without the knowledge of the other party.
We are conveniently located near both the Principal Registry of the Family Division and the Royal Courts of Justice. To arrange a free initial consultation with a solicitor from our firm, please contact us or call 0808 159 5250.
