Understanding Financial Remedy in Divorce
A Financial remedy is the legal process used to resolve financial matters following divorce or separation. It is required where:
- An agreement cannot be reached between parties, or
- An agreement needs court approval to become legally binding.
A financial remedy can deal with:
- Property and real estate assets
- Pensions and retirement planning
- Savings, investments and liabilities
- Spousal maintenance and child maintenance
Once approved by the court, a financial order or consent order brings finality and prevents future financial claims.
Why a Financial Remedy Order Matters
Safeguarding assets
Without a legally binding financial order, assets — including property and pensions — may remain vulnerable to future claims.
Transparency and disclosure
The process requires full financial disclosure, ensuring all income, assets and liabilities are properly accounted for.
Future financial security
A well-planned settlement supports long-term stability, particularly where one party has significantly higher earning capacity or pension provision.
Stability for Children
Where children are involved, financial arrangements can provide ongoing support and clarity. We can also assist with child arrangements, if child contact is an issue.
