Every divorce is different, but the law aims for fairness, not necessarily a 50/50 split. Speak to an experienced family law solicitor to find out where you stand.
Confidential. No obligation. SRA Regulated Solicitors.
When a marriage ends, the court in England and Wales aims to divide assets fairly. This does not always mean a 50/50 split. Instead, the court looks at your circumstances to reach a balanced outcome.
Assets considered include:
What you are entitled to will depend on your unique situation. Speaking with a solicitor ensures you understand your rights before agreeing to any settlement.
These may be shared or offset against other assets. Even if an asset is in one person’s name, it may still be included in the settlement.
Savings built up during the marriage are usually included. Savings from before the marriage or after separation may be treated differently.
Not necessarily. Many couples reach agreement through negotiation or mediation. A court order is still required to make any financial settlement legally binding.
