Finances
How can our family law solicitors help you resolve your finances?
Finances can be one of the most difficult and costly areas for couples who separate to resolve, our family law solicitors have the experience to help you minimise the stress involved.
What issues can our family law solicitors help with?
- What should happen to the family business?
- How do we deal with pensions?
- Do I have to sell the house even though I have young children?
- Do I need to pay spousal maintenance?
- There are assets abroad, how do we deal with those?
- How do I know exactly what assets the other person has?
- Does my inheritance get included?
Our teams in Heathfield and Crowborough in East Sussex, close to Tunbridge Wells in Kent, always aim to find a cost-effective way to deal with financial issues; but in those situations where court proceedings are needed our family law solicitors provide representation, support, clear advice and guidance to their clients.
Whichever route you choose, as your family law solicitors, we can provide the help and support you need through a difficult situation.

How will financial arrangements be sorted out?
Our family law solicitors have essentially three parts to their job when considering someone’s financial position.
Firstly, we help you identify and value your assets. Are all the assets matrimonial or are some inherited or pre-acquired?
Do you both agree the valuation of each asset? This can be harder than it seems when it comes to a business or a pension.
Secondly, our family law solicitors help you reach a settlement. To do this they may advise you, after careful consultation, to use one of the following (this is not an exhaustive list):
- Family Mediation
- Collaborative Law
- One Lawyer One Couple
- Round Table Approach
- A Private Financial Dispute Resolution Hearing
- Early Neutral Evaluation
- Arbitration
- Solicitor-Led Negotiations
- Court Proceedings
Finally, our family law solicitors will draft the court order that details your agreement and will make sure you understand your commitments and the future consequences of that agreement.
They will deal with the court and ensure it becomes an enforceable order. This order is called a Financial Remedy Order. If it is agreed to voluntarily it is often referred to as a “Consent Order”.
