Financial Matters

Our family law solicitors help those going through divorce or separation to protect their finances and secure the fairest possible outcome.

Finances are central to divorce or separation. The division of property, savings, business interests, pensions, income and debts is often one of the most complex, emotional and contentious aspects to the process.

The decisions you make during divorce will shape your financial security for years to come. Specialist legal advice is crucial.

Established in 2010, we are one of Yorkshire’s leading specialist family law practices, recommended by Legal 500 and Chambers UK.

The team brings extensive experience advising on all types of family law financial issues – trust us to provide effective, strategic guidance to help you secure what’s rightfully yours.

Clear, practical legal advice for divorce financial issues

We cover the full spectrum of financial issues arising from divorce, separation and civil partnership dissolution.

• Financial settlements – We help you to secure a fair financial agreement dealing with money, property, pensions and other assets and assets when your marriage ends.
• Child maintenance – Expert advice whether you are seeking child maintenance support, responding to a claim, disputing an existing arrangement or unsure of your rights and obligations.
• Pre- and post-nuptial agreements – Carefully-prepared agreements that protect inherited wealth, property, business assets and children from previous relationships.
• Complex and high-net-worth cases – We have particular expertise helping clients to navigate complex financial situations, including those involving significant business interests, trusts, wealth, property or overseas assets.

We can also provide advice to unmarried cohabiting couples on financial arrangements.

We know how emotionally-charged divorce and separation can be. We work sensitively and with a mind to always avoiding unnecessary conflict, minimising stress and expense.
