Financial Rights and Obligations Following Relationship Breakdown

The financial implications of a marriage, relationship, or civil partnership breakdown are often varied and complex. Understanding your financial rights, remedies, and obligations is essential to ensure you make informed decisions before finalising any agreements with your partner or ex-spouse. Our experienced team is here to guide you through this challenging process with clarity and expertise.

Potential outcomes may include:

Lump sum payments: A one-off payment of capital.
Property transfers or sales: Agreements regarding the family home or other assets.
Ongoing financial support: Regular payments to support you or your children.

We encourage individuals to reach an early agreement to avoid unnecessary delays or conflict. Our team can help facilitate constructive discussions, ensuring that your interests are protected while working toward a fair resolution.

Once an agreement is reached, it’s vital to formalise it within a legally binding document. We can prepare a Separation Deed or a Financial Remedy Consent Order, providing clarity and protection for both parties moving forward.

Navigating financial settlements can be daunting, but with our expert advice, you can achieve a resolution that secures your future and offers peace of mind.

Wollens is approachable and a welcoming and supportive space. This is especially important when dealing with family law, as these can be highly emotive cases.

Deborah Baker’s wealth of knowledge is evident in how she has dealt with my cases. Deborah is realistic, grounded and professional throughout, while also managing to be sympathetic, encouraging and supportive in moments where needed. I wouldn’t hesitate to take her advice.

All the individuals at the firm with whom I have interacted have time to listen and understand. They make an effort to address the needs of clients – whether in the context of home visits or working with time differences with overseas clients. At all times, the client comes first. The firm should be very proud of their team.

Very friendly and approachable team. You are dealing with one person who knows your case, not a different person each time. Accessible to non-English speakers – they use professional and accredited interpreters and translators which makes them stand out from the other legal firms in the area.
