What Does Financial Remedy Mean?
A financial remedy is the legal process used to resolve financial matters following divorce, separation or the dissolution of a civil partnership. It is necessary where:
- Agreement cannot be reached between parties, or
- An agreement needs to be approved by the court to make it legally binding.
A financial remedy can address:
- The family home and other property
- Pension sharing or pension offsetting
- Savings, investments and debts
- Spousal maintenance and child maintenance
Once approved by the court, a financial order (including a consent order) provides finality and prevents future financial claims.
Why Sorting Out Finances During Divorce Matters
Finality and peace of mind
Without a sealed financial order, financial claims can remain open indefinitely — even long after divorce.
A fair and informed outcome
The process requires full financial disclosure so decisions are made using accurate, complete information.
Protection for the future
A properly structured settlement supports long-term stability, especially where housing, pensions or earning capacity differ.
Security for children
Financial arrangements can include maintenance and housing provision to support children’s needs.
We can also advise on child arrangements, if parenting issues arise alongside financial matters.
