Legal Advice On Financial Settlement
Price: £199.00
What does this service provide?
When you get separated/divorced you and your spouse need to reach an agreement on finances.
This agreement needs to include:
- how assets will be divided up between you (for example property, pensions and savings)
- who will take responsibility for existing debts
- whether any ongoing maintenance payments will be made, for how much and for how long
Once an agreement is reached it can be drafted by a solicitor into a legally binding Consent Order (also known as a clean break agreement).
There are various ways that you can negotiate an agreement such as direct discussions, mediation, using solicitors and/or going to court.
But before you start to negotiate - you need legal advice to know where you stand.
This service includes a consultation with experienced family solicitor.
Its purpose is to help you understand what you are entitled to and what, according to family law, would be considered a fair settlement, based on your individual circumstances.
Who is the service suitable for?
This service is for people getting separated or divorced in England and Wales, who are trying to sort out a fair financial settlement.

 | 3) Financial Questionnaire: Once we have received your order - we will email you a financial questionnaire to complete and return. We need to know the financial circumstances of both you and your ex (for example: property value, mortgage outstanding, pensions, salaries, savings etc). We also require some other key details such as the length or your marriage and the number and ages of your children. It is also important to know about you: your health, your job, your skills and career prospects. |
| 4) Consultation scheduled: An assistant from the family law department at Brethertons will call you to agree a convenient date and time for your telephone consultation |
 | 5) Preparation: Both you and the solicitor then prepare for your consultation. The solicitor will review your financial questionnaire. You should prepare a list of questions that you want to ask. |
 | 6) Consultation: At the appointed time the solicitor will call you for your consultation. They will try to understand your objectives (e.g. Do you want to stay in the family home?). They will also need to understand something about your ex: are they willing to negotiate? are they likely to be reasonable? What do they want? You will also have an opportunity to ask them some specific questions. |
| 7) Report: After your consultation, your solicitor will write a summary report including their legal opinion on: where you stand legally, what a fair settlement might look like, and what your options are for moving forward. This report will form a good basis for you to start negotiations. |
