Your Financial Settlement Questions Answered

How Are Finances Divided on Separation?
No two cases are the same. How the Court divides finances depend on:
- Your family’s needs (including children)
- Length of the marriage/relationship
- Each spouse’s income, earning potential & assets
- Contributions (financial and non-financial)
- Prior agreements or inheritances
By applying Section 25 of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973, we can assess likely outcomes and plan accordingly for your financial settlement.
Are Divorce and Finances Dealt with at the Same Time?

They are related, but legally separate. A divorce ends the marriage; a Financial Settlement Order settles the marital assets and liabilities. Took out a sentence here

Even if you’ve agreed on financial matters, converting them into a Court-approved Financial Order avoids future claims.

See our Divorce page for more on the divorce process.
Is an Agreement Binding?

An agreement reached privately or through mediation is not legally binding unless it becomes a Financial Order sealed by the Court.
What Happens If You Can’t Agree on a Financial Settlement?

If agreement fails, you can apply to the Court for a Financial Order, ensuring your financial settlement is formalised. Exceptions apply in cases of domestic abuse or urgent financial need.
How Do I Apply for a Financial Settlement?
While you may submit Form A yourself, family law finances are highly complex. Our specialist solicitors in Doncaster, Rotherham, Melton Mowbray, Gainsborough & Leighton Buzzard provide professional support to:
- File your application correctly
- Prepare your financial disclosure
- Negotiate on your behalf
- Represent you in Court

Do I Have to Settle Finances When I Get Divorced?

No – but without a Court-approved order, financial settlement claims could still be made later.
Can My Ex Claim My Inheritance?

Not automatically, but the Court may decide an inheritance should be shared depending on circumstances.
What is a Clean Break Order?

A Clean Break ends future financial claims between you and your ex.
Do I Need a Solicitor for a Financial Order?

You can apply yourself, but legal guidance ensures your interests are fully protected.
What if My Ex-Hides Assets?
