After a divorce, financial issues have to be resolved
between the parties.
The division of the assets or payment of maintenance can be
achieved by applying for a financial order. Different orders
can be applied to the matrimonial home by the court, depending
on the circumstances of the parties.
The financial aspect of the divorce now involves three stages
starting with the first appointment, followed by the financial
dispute resolution (FDR) appointment and, if no agreement is
reached between the parties, the final hearing. The cost of resolving
financial issues is often dependent upon the stage at which the
case is concluded. We do however, keep all clients fully advised
of the likely future costs of the case as it proceeds.
The court can make a variety of orders in relation to financial
matters and it is important that you receive the correct advice
in these proceedings. Our staff are experts in this area and
will advise you how best to proceed, in the hope of achieving
a fair result for you.
It is important to realise that the court does not have the
same jurisdiction where the couple is not married, but living
together.
We are authorised to conduct cases through the Legal
Aid or public funding. At our first meeting with
you we will ascertain if you are eligible for Legal Aid and
if so, will arrange for you to be publicly funded.
However, you must always be cautious when in receipt of public
funding as the statutory charge enables the Legal
Services Commission to recover any costs incurred in the case
from any money or othr property retained or gained during the
case.
