How Does The Divorce Process Work?
Instead, the new law permits divorcing couples to file for divorce without having to provide a reason for the breakdown of the marriage and can simply provide a statement that it has irretrievably broken down, thereby removing any requirement to blame the other spouse or else wait a long time. You can either pursue a joint divorce application with your spouse as joint applicants or apply for a divorce by yourself as a sole applicant.
Whilst financial and child issues can be related to the divorce process, it is important to understand that a completely separate process will be required to deal with these areas. Once again, we can help you resolve these legal issues.
What Happens To Property and Assets
The courts have the power to make orders to sell, transfer or charge property. They can also make orders for the payment of lump sums, for the sharing of pensions and for the making of maintenance payments. Child maintenance disputes are generally dealt with by CMS (Child Maintenance Services), formerly known as the CSA. However, the courts are still able to make financial provision for children in certain exceptional circumstances, such as through school fees orders and the provision of lump sums.
When making a settlement, we examine the same factors as the courts, including the age of both parties, the relationship length, the children’s needs, contributions during the marriage, as well as both parties’ financial position and needs. The implications of any proposed sale or transfer of assets, particularly in relation to any family business corporate restructuring or tax repercussions, are carefully considered when negotiating.
How we Support Making a Settlement
If negotiations fail to resolve matters, we can continue your case through the courts. The court procedure has several advantages, including a structured timetable that will keep your case moving forward and the enforcement of full financial disclosure, which is crucial if it has not been made available beforehand.
