Financial Remedies

The breakdown of a relationship often results in a huge change of lifestyle.

Incomes that once supported one household now have to support two. Plans that have existed for many years are thrown into turmoil. Retirement planning may have to start all over again. The dream house may have to be sold.

The stress of the situation makes dealing with the financial matters even worse and the temptation is to settle for a quick solution that may be regretted a few months later.

Questions which routinely have to be considered in the middle of a divorce include:

Should I move out of the house?

Am I entitled to maintenance?

Can I afford the mortgage?

The range of options open to the court are many and varied, with good advice being an essential ingredient from the start, to ensure that your long term position is protected.
