Divorce and Finances: Getting a Fair Settlement

Financial matters can feel complicated, especially when dealing with assets such as:

Family homes
Savings and investments
Businesses
Pensions
Debts
Joint accounts

Our specialist team analyses your financial picture and works to secure a fair settlement. Whether you’re concerned about maintenance, property division or ongoing financial support, we provide straightforward, strategic advice.

Child Maintenance and Financial Support

Where children are involved, child maintenance is usually arranged to ensure they are financially supported. This can be agreed privately or calculated through the Child Maintenance Service. Spousal maintenance may also apply in certain circumstances, particularly if one spouse has a much higher income.

Reaching an Agreement

Couples are encouraged to reach an agreement without going to court, often through negotiation or mediation. A solicitor can draft a legally binding consent order to confirm the settlement. If agreement cannot be reached, the court can decide the outcome.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sold my house through TGC. Went with them as they were competitive against other online conveyancing solicitors but also had an office in my town so gave me more confidence. Whilst all started and ended well, the communication in between wasn't so great with a lot of chasing. Estate agent kept me more informed about Exchange date than TGC did despite a month of chasing which was obviously very frustrating.

I was looking into the Innovator Founder route because of my business plans and wasn't sure how to present my work and experience properly. The guidance from Migrantminds helped me organise my ideas and understand what parts of my professional background were worth highlighting.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. T. G. Collins, specifically Chloe, helped us sell our father's house in what seamed like impossible timelines requested by the buyer. I cannot thank them enough and still can't quite believe what was achieved in the last week to get the sale through, all charges and costs paid and the proceeds transferred.

The quote for services was highly competitive and their work swift and very responsive - having used a traditional face to face solicitor for multiple properties over the years, and used an on line one to sell my fathers property this was an extremely positive experience and I wouldn’t hesitate
To use them again and highly recommend.
