We are experts in all financial disputes arising from a relationship breakdown. Whether you need negotiation outside the court process or robust representation at court, we are there to steer you through. Benussi & Co. can help you reach a financial settlement during a divorce, civil partnership dissolution or separation.
The first step is to identify what financial assets you have between you. Financial assets are also known as matrimonial assets or marital assets. They can include; real estate properties, savings, vehicles and even stocks or mutual funds. Matrimonial assets can also include debts, mortgages, overdrafts and loans.
We will work out what each asset is worth in the eyes of the court. This can include; the family home, remaining mortgages and valuable items such as jewellery or household items.
Valuation of assets before a divorce is a complex process, following a consultation with our experts, we will be able to guide you through it.
Once your shared assets have been valued, our financial settlement solicitors will then divide them in accordance with the current law.
The court will aim to divide assets as fairly as possible. If you suspect your partner might be hiding assets from the courts, then our team of divorce solicitors can offer expert legal advice on this.
A financial order ensures that any financial responsibilities between you and your ex-partner are cut and finalised. A ‘clean break’ order is when there are no shared assets, but all financial ties are ceased. A ‘consent order’ is for divorcing partners who need to divide assets and make their financial settlement order legally binding.
Settling finances can be a complex and emotional process. Seeking legal advice from our expert divorce solicitors can help you reach a fair financial settlement.
