Understanding what’s involved in a Financial Settlement
Settlements involve the division of assets, liabilities, and responsibilities. In a financial sense, we assess the monetary side of the separation between the two people who are ending their relationship.
As specialist divorce solicitors with a wealth of experience in resolving financial disputes, we offer services that can help with your financial settlement in divorce, dissolution or relationship breakdown.
This can include settling the following assets and interests:
The first step to asset division is understanding the value of total assets. Only then can we look at the fair division of assets between the spouses. Our team works to divide them following prevailing laws. This can include properties, vehicles, investments, pensions, businesses, and other valuable possessions acquired during the marriage.
The court aims to distribute assets equitably, however, if you suspect the concealment of assets by your partner, our team offers legal advice to address these concerns.
Alongside assets, any debts accumulated during the partnership must also be addressed. This will include mortgages, credit card debts, loans and any other financial obligations. Our team of expert solicitors will determine the responsibility for these debts. Ensuring that they are divided fairly and appropriately.
If there are children involved in the separation, financial settlements often include provisions for child support. This ensures that the children’s needs are met. This involves the determination of the amount of child support one parent must pay to the other for the care and upbringing of the children. At Benussi & Co, we prioritise the best interests of the children. We advocate for fair and reasonable child support arrangements.
While litigation is an option, we encourage alternative dispute-resolution methods. That could include negotiation and mediation. These approaches can often result in faster, less fractious, and more cost-effective resolutions. Which in turn can preserve relationships and reduce the stress for all parties involved.
In cases where litigation is necessary, our team provides strong advocacy and representation in court. We leverage our legal expertise and courtroom experience to vigorously defend your rights and pursue the best possible outcome on your behalf.
Seeking counsel from our expert solicitors can facilitate a fair and equitable resolution. Our process adheres to UK divorce financial settlement regulations.

A financial order serves to finalise any financial obligations between you and your ex-partner. Whether through a ‘clean break’ order, severing all financial ties, or a ‘consent order’ to legally bind asset division, we ensure your financial affairs are settled definitively.
Benussi & Co. is dedicated to guiding individuals through this process with expertise, empathy, and a commitment to achieving fair and equitable outcomes that provide financial stability and peace of mind for the future.
