Going through a divorce can be incredibly stressful and confusing, especially when emotions are running high.

We’ll guide you through each stage of the process, from filling out the initial paperwork to managing finances and making arrangements for your children. Our goal is to help you navigate this journey with as little strain as possible.

We can assist with everything from straightforward divorces to more complicated situations, such as financial disputes or child arrangement orders, even cases that cross international borders. Our team will make sure you understand your rights, whether it’s about property, pensions, maintenance, or creating arrangements that best support your children’s wellbeing. 

Managing your finances during a divorce in Leicester

Dealing with finances is one of the most important parts of going through a divorce. The law requires what is called full and frank financial disclosure, which means that both parties must be completely honest and share all details about their income, debts, pensions, and other financial assets. Without this complete transparency, it can be difficult to reach a fair agreement, and issues may arise later on.

It’s essential to have a legally binding agreement or court order that clearly sets out how money and property will be divided. Without this, there is a risk that your former partner could make future claims for financial support. Having everything formally agreed and documented protects you and provides reassurance for the future.

If you want to avoid the stress and cost of going to court, we can guide you through mediation and other methods to settle matters peacefully. However, if court action becomes necessary, our divorce solicitors in Leicester will support you throughout the process. Legal Aid is currently only available for public law and care proceedings. We can advise whether it applies to your situation and explain any other options for support that may be available.
