What is a financial remedy?
A financial remedy is the legal process used to divide finances after divorce. It results in a court order that sets out how assets, pensions, and income are to be dealt with.
Do I need a financial order if we agree?
Yes. Even if you agree, a financial consent order is essential to make the agreement legally binding and prevent future claims.
How long do financial remedy proceedings take?
This varies depending on complexity, but cases typically take several months. More complex cases can take longer.
Can finances be resolved without going to court?
Yes. Many cases settle through negotiation or mediation, but court proceedings are available where agreement cannot be reached.
Can I get legal aid for divorce and finance?
We offer legal aid and will assess your eligibility in your first appointment which is free and comes with no obligation.
