What Is a Financial Remedy and When Is It Needed?
A financial remedy is the formal legal process used to resolve financial issues following divorce, separation or the dissolution of a civil partnership. It is typically required where:
- Financial matters cannot be agreed informally, or
- An agreement has been reached but needs court approval to become legally binding.
A financial remedy can cover:
- The family home and other property
- Pension sharing or pension offsetting arrangements
- Savings, investments and liabilities
- Spousal maintenance and child maintenance
Once approved by the court, a financial order (including a consent order) provides certainty and prevents further financial claims between former spouses.
The Importance of Getting Divorce Finances Right
Legal protection
Without a court-approved financial order, financial claims can remain open indefinitely — sometimes for years after a divorce.
Informed decision-making
The process requires full and frank financial disclosure, ensuring settlements are based on accurate information.
Long-term financial security
A properly structured settlement can protect housing needs, pension provision and future income.
Stability for children
Where children are involved, financial arrangements can reflect housing and maintenance needs. We can also advise where financial matters overlap with child arrangements.
