How Financial Remedy Works in Divorce
Financial remedy is the legal mechanism used to determine how finances are dealt with following divorce or separation. It applies where:
- An agreement cannot be reached independently, or
- An agreed settlement needs court approval to become legally binding.
Financial remedy can address:
- Property and housing arrangements
- Pensions and retirement provision
- Savings, investments and debts
- Income, spousal maintenance and child maintenance
Once approved by the court, a financial order or consent order provides certainty and prevents further financial claims between former spouses.
Why a Formal Financial Settlement Is Essential
Clarity and finality
Without a court-approved financial order, financial claims can remain open indefinitely – even years after divorce.
Full and fair disclosure
The financial remedy process ensures all assets and liabilities are properly disclosed and assessed before decisions are made.
Long-term financial planning
A well-structured settlement supports future stability, particularly where pensions, property or income disparities exist.
Security for children
Where relevant, financial arrangements can include child maintenance provisions that promote consistency and stability. We can also assist with child arrangements, if child contact is an issue.
