What is involved in the divorce financial settlement process?
If you find yourself needing to secure a divorce financial settlement in Manchester, our team of compassionate experts is here to guide you through the process from start to finish. Our primary objective is always to secure an agreement that reflects the best interests of both parties, and we begin by working with you to understand your unique circumstances and wishes. Our team secures full financial disclosures from each side, which involves sharing financial information like pensions, property investments and debts – this enables us to reach a fair, legally sound settlement.
From the moment you contact us, our team of solicitors will do everything in our power to reach an amicable resolution, avoiding court intervention wherever possible. In cases where a private settlement cannot be reached, you will typically need to attend a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (‘MIAM’); this takes place in a private, neutral environment, and gives both parties a chance to openly communicate. If mediation is unsuccessful or unsuitable for your specific case, we will then support you through any necessary court appearances.
We appreciate that divorce can become contentious. If you suspect that your assets are not safe, we can offer expert advice and work to have them frozen by the court. We’ll also take the time to explain any relevant implications, like employment law considerations and corporate/personal tax, preventing unforeseen costs down the line.
