Our financial settlement services in Romsey

Our expert Financial Settlement Solicitors in our Romsey office can provide bespoke advice on various topics, including:

• Spousal maintenance agreements
• Division of assets
• Pension Sharing Orders
• Clean Break Orders
• Consent Orders

Spousal maintenance agreements

Spousal maintenance is designed to provide ongoing financial support where one partner cannot meet their needs immediately after a divorce or separation. Our Divorce Settlement Solicitors in Romsey can advise on when maintenance is appropriate, how much should be paid, and for how long.

We will carefully assess your circumstances, such as income, earning potential, childcare responsibilities, and standard of living, to ensure that any agreement is both fair and sustainable. If you are the paying spouse, we will help ensure payments are proportionate and reasonable. If you are the recipient, we will help secure the financial support you deserve.

Whilst we always aim to reach a mutually acceptable agreement without Court intervention, our experienced team is ready to represent you staunchly in Court if necessary.

Division of assets

Deciding how to split finances in divorce can be challenging, particularly when emotions are high or assets are complex. Our Financial Settlement Solicitors in Romsey have extensive experience in helping clients divide assets fairly, from family homes and savings to businesses, investments, and pensions.

We will help you identify marital and non-marital assets, accurately value them, and explore how they can be divided to achieve a balanced outcome. Our team focuses on securing your long-term stability and ensuring all arrangements comply with legal requirements through a pragmatic, constructive approach.

Pension Sharing Orders

Pensions are often one of the largest assets in a marriage, yet they are sometimes overlooked during divorce proceedings. Our Divorce Financial Settlement Solicitors ensure that your pension rights are fully considered as part of your overall divorce finance agreement.

We will work with trusted actuaries and financial experts to provide accurate pension valuations and advise on the most suitable form of division, whether that be through pension sharing, attachment, or offsetting arrangements.

Clean break orders

A Clean Break Order brings finality to your financial agreement after divorce, ensuring that neither party can make further financial claims against the other in the future.

Our Financial Settlement Solicitors in Romsey can advise you on whether a clean break is suitable for your circumstances and assist in drafting the necessary documentation to make it legally binding.

Even if your divorce is amicable, it is vital to formalise a Clean Break Order through the Court to protect both parties from future disputes. Our Family Law team ensure that your agreement reflects your intentions clearly and provides certainty for the years ahead.

Consent Orders

Once you have reached a financial agreement with your former partner, it must be approved by the Court in the form of a Consent Order to make it legally binding. Our Divorce Financial Settlement Solicitors in Romsey will take care of this process for you, ensuring all relevant paperwork is correctly prepared and submitted.

Consent Orders prevent future disagreements and protect both parties from potential claims. Our team can ensure your intentions are accurately reflected whilst complying with Court requirements.

Frequently asked questions about financial settlements

How long does the financial settlement process usually take with a Solicitor?

The timescale varies depending on the complexity of your assets and how co-operative both parties are. Whilst straightforward cases are usually quickly resolved, more complex divorce financial settlement cases involving property, pensions or business interests may take longer.

What documents do I need to prepare before consulting a Financial Settlement Solicitor?

Many documents may prove helpful in your first meeting, which can accelerate your divorce and finance arrangements. These include:

• Bank statements
• Mortgage information
• Payslips
• Pension valuations
• Property deeds
• Business accounts

Do I need a Solicitor if my divorce financial settlement is amicable?

Yes, it is highly recommended that you instruct a Solicitor regardless of the terms your relationship ended on. Even if you and your ex-partner agree on how to divide your assets, it is essential to obtain legal advice to ensure your financial settlement after divorce is fair and legally binding. If there is no Court-approved agreement, either party could make future financial claims.

How do Solicitors calculate the fair division of assets in a divorce?

When assessing the fairness of a financial settlement, Courts will consider factors such as income, property, savings, debts, pensions, earning capacity and the needs of any children involved.

Our lawyers will consider these factors before assessing the specifics of your circumstances, such as whether one party has greater ongoing financial needs due to childcare responsibilities.

Your Financial Settlement Solicitor will draft a Consent Order to formalise this agreement before submission to the Court. If a clean break is appropriate, we will ensure the Order clearly ends all future financial claims between you and your former spouse.

Can a Solicitor help enforce a financial settlement Order?

Yes, absolutely. If your former spouse fails to comply with a Court Order, our Divorce Financial Settlement Solicitors in Romsey can pursue swift action to enforce it through the correct legal channels. This might involve seeking a Court Order for payment or other enforcement methods to protect your financial interests.
