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
    • Ensure your settlement is properly implemented
  • 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?

    The Court can order further disclosure, penalise dishonesty, and even set aside settlements in extreme cases.
