When a relationship breaks down, you may feel anxious about your finances. Sometimes it feels as though you no longer have the safety blanket you once had. Often there’s confusion about which partner is entitled to what. We’re here to clarify the law for you, and fight your corner so that you have the financial security that you need.
Our lawyers have dealt with a wide range of situations involving children, international assets, high net worth relationships, and much more. While every situation is different, it’s likely we’ve handled a similar scenario to yours in the past. We help you find a financial settlement that lets you move onto your next chapter with confidence.
The starting point is usually that the assets will be divided 50:50, but that’s not always the final position.
