How to Navigate Finances During Divorce

Dividing finances during a divorce can be one of the most challenging aspects of the process. At MBH Solicitors, we’re here to help you understand your rights and reach a fair and workable agreement. Here’s what you need to know.

Understand What Needs to Be Divided
Financial settlements can include:

• Property (including the family home)
• Pensions
• Savings and investments
• Business interests
• Debts

We start by helping you gather a full picture of your financial situation. Transparency is key at this stage.

Negotiate a Fair Settlement
We work with you to negotiate a settlement that reflects your needs and the contributions made during the marriage. This can be done through direct negotiation, mediation, or, if necessary, through the courts.

Consider Your Future Needs
Financial agreements aren’t just about the here and now. We help you plan for the future, taking into account housing, income, childcare responsibilities, and long-term security.

Court Orders and Legal Protection
Once an agreement is reached, it’s important to make it legally binding. This is usually done through a court order (Consent Order), which we can help you draft and submit.

Complex Circumstances
We regularly work on complex cases involving business assets, inherited wealth, or significant income differences. Whatever your situation, our experienced team will fight for the best outcome for you.
