Financial Settlements FAQs

What is a Consent Order?

A Consent Order formalises the financial agreement between you and your spouse, which the Court will review for fairness. Our solicitors ensure the agreement meets Court approval, avoiding any 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 child-rearing, are valued equally to financial contributions.

Will I have to pay spousal maintenance?

This depends on individual circumstances and section 25 factors. The Court may award spousal maintenance to ensure fairness in the settlement.
