What Is a Financial Remedy?
A financial remedy is the legal process used to resolve financial matters following divorce, separation or the dissolution of a civil partnership. It is commonly required where:
- Financial issues cannot be resolved informally, or
- An agreed settlement needs court approval to become legally binding
A financial remedy can address issues including:
- The family home and other property interests
- Pension sharing or pension offsetting
- Savings, investments and business interests
- Debts and other liabilities
- Spousal maintenance and child maintenance
Once approved by the court, a financial order (including a consent order) provides legal certainty and prevents further financial claims in the future.
Why Formal Financial Settlements Matter
Bringing matters to a proper conclusion
Without a court-approved financial order, former spouses can remain financially linked long after a divorce is finalised.
Ensuring decisions are based on full information
Both parties are required to provide complete financial disclosure, allowing assets, income and liabilities to be assessed accurately.
Protecting long-term financial security
A carefully structured settlement can safeguard housing arrangements, pension provision and future income.
Supporting stability where children are involved
Financial arrangements can reflect housing needs and ongoing financial support. We also advise where financial matters intersect with child arrangements.
