The most difficult and usually emotive aspect of a relationship
breakdown is dividing up the assets. Our team can help you to
negotiate an appropriate financial settlement and advise you how
the courts work out what each party should have.
There is a misconception that all assets should be divided
equally. As well as the matrimonial home and investment properties,
we can help you to deal with inherited assets, assets that were
acquired before the relationship and after the separation, family
businesses and the effect of pre-nuptial agreements.
Given that this aspect is often the most costly to deal with,
our team will encourage you to try and reach an agreement without
court proceedings, but will advise you if you reach a point where
court is the most appropriate way to proceed. Each case is
different and we need to consider your individual circumstances to
properly advise you.
