What Does a Financial Remedy Do?
A financial remedy is the legal framework used to resolve financial matters following divorce, separation or the dissolution of a civil partnership. It may be required where:
- Financial issues cannot be resolved by agreement alone, or
- An agreed settlement needs to be approved by the court to become legally enforceable.
A financial remedy can address matters such as:
- The family home and other property
- Pension sharing or pension offsetting
- Savings, investments and outstanding debts
- Spousal maintenance and child maintenance
Once approved by the court, a financial order (including a consent order) brings finality and prevents further financial claims in the future.
Why a Court-Approved Financial Order Matters
Avoiding future claims
Without a sealed financial order, former spouses can remain financially linked long after divorce.
Ensuring full disclosure
Both parties are required to provide clear and honest financial information, allowing informed decisions to be made.
Protecting long-term security
Proper financial planning helps safeguard housing, pensions and income over time.
Supporting children’s stability
Where children are involved, arrangements can reflect housing needs and ongoing financial support. We can also advise where child arrangement, issues overlap with financial matters.
