How much of our assets am I entitled to?

There’s no automatic 50/50 split. Your share depends on many factors, including your contributions, future needs, and children’s welfare. We’ll assess your specific situation and fight for what you deserve.

What if my spouse is hiding money?

We have forensic accountants and investigators who specialise in finding hidden assets. We can trace money through offshore accounts, trusts, and complex business structures.

How long does a financial settlement take?

Simple cases can be resolved in 3-6 months. Complex cases involving businesses or hidden assets may take longer, but we work as quickly as possible to secure your future.

What if we can't agree on valuations?

We instruct independent experts to value properties, businesses, and pensions. Courts rely on professional valuations, not what your ex claims assets are worth.

Will I have to sell the family home?

Not necessarily. We explore all options, including offsetting other assets, delayed sales, or arrangements that let you stay in the home, especially if there are children involved.

Can I get spousal maintenance?

If there’s a significant income difference or you’ve sacrificed your career for the family, you may be entitled to ongoing maintenance. We’ll assess your case and fight for appropriate support.

What about my pension?

Pensions are often the most valuable asset in a marriage. We ensure you get your fair share of all pension schemes, including final salary pensions, which can be worth hundreds of thousands.

How much will this cost me?

We offer transparent pricing with fixed-fee options for straightforward cases. Your initial consultation is free, and we’ll give you an exact quote. Remember, a good settlement pays for the legal fees many times over.
