Divorce will be one of the most distressing and stressful experiences anyone can go through and battling complex legal issues can further heighten these emotions. From untangling finances to making arrangements for child custody, separation can become costly, upsetting and expensive.
That’s why it pays to have access to dedicated family law lawyers in Kent or close to you. Every case will be different. There can never be a one-size-fits-all arrangement. Having access to solicitors who can work closely with you ensures a more personalised approach.
Our team is committed to understanding your situation, and goals to help you come up with arrangements that protect your best interests.
Whether dividing property, savings, and investments or deciding on child maintenance arrangements, sorting out financial issues during a divorce and be complicated. While many people think financial connections end with the divorce, a spouse can bring a claim at any time, unless financial details are fully agreed upon at the time.
To avoid any confusion, we can guide you through the complexities of sorting out finances. This can include a financial remedy agreement which can prevent either spouse from making a claim against the other in the future.
These agreements will be legally binding contracts between you and a partner and will provide clarity over your financial future.
