Financial Settlements FAQs
What is a Consent Order?
A Consent Order formalises the financial agreement between you and your spouse, which the Court reviews for fairness. Our solicitors ensure the agreement meets Court approval, eliminating the need for further hearings.
What Factors Are Considered When Negotiating a Financial Settlement?
Factors include available resources, financial needs, marriage duration, party conduct, living standards, and contributions to the marriage. Non-financial contributions, such as raising children, are equally valued to financial contributions.
