Finances - getting the best outcome

The relationship aspect of divorce is of no real interest to the State or most (but not all) divorce lawyers.  The hard core aspects of this distressing process are residency and access to the children and how to divide up the dosh.

The financial crisis of 2008, still euphemistically referred to as the ‘Credit Crunch', has caused untold damage to the world economy and is now impacting on divorce.

Money and the material wellbeing that it affords can play a big part in the success or otherwise of a marriage.  If it all goes wrong and the only answer is to divorce then money (or the division of the family assets) will again play an important role in the divorce proceedings.

The knowledge and experience of your lawyer can make all the difference between a fair, equitable and reasonable divorce and you being shafted financially, thrust into bleak penury and condemned to a difficult life after divorce.

Managing your divorce is going to be one of the most difficult tasks in your life.  What you want, what you need and what you eventually settle for are, in most cases going to be three rather different things.

The best way to have an expensive divorce is to not talk to each other and then argue every point from who gets the toaster or the Waterford crystal to the level of maintenance payments.

Divorce is all about children and money.  If you have no children or they are grown up then it's just about how the family assets and future earnings should be split.  This is often the most difficult part of the divorce to agree. Find an IFA in your area to help you with your Divorce Finances.

England is now seen as the most generous country in Europe for women getting divorced.  The sympathy shown by English judges for women has attracted thousands of wives from other countries to London to have their divorce cases heard here.
