Matrimonial Finance
A significant consequence of relationship breakdown is the effect on the family’s financial position and resultant worries about money experienced by everyone involved. At Hart Brown, our specialist family lawyers will explain to you the financial claims you can make and the financial obligations you may have. We will explain the factors which the courts take into account in a divorce or judicial separation including:
- length of the marriage
- earning capacity and contribution
- needs and where possible ring fencing assets built up during the marriage
We will explain how the court exercises its discretion when resolving income and capital claims.
Sometimes it will be necessary to put in place short-term arrangements such as interim maintenance before a final agreement can be reached. Freezing assets might be relevant if there is a real risk that one party will remove the assets.
Whilst we will always try to deal with these issues amicably this is not always possible if your position is to be protected. We will then offer cost effective, practical advice on necessary court proceedings.
Our expertise ranges from multi-million pound disputes involving complex assets such as trusts, businesses, pensions and properties both in the UK and overseas to disputes where assets are extremely limited.
