Financial Settlements 

When a marriage or civil partnership ends, resolving financial matters is one of the most important steps in securing a stable future. A fair financial settlement is about more than dividing assets—it’s about ensuring that both parties can move forward with clarity, security, and dignity.

At AAGA Solicitors, we provide expert legal advice on all aspects of financial settlements, including property division, spousal maintenance, pension sharing, business assets, lump sum payments, and clean break orders. Whether your finances are straightforward or complex, we tailor our approach to your individual circumstances. Settlements can be reached by consent or through court proceedings. Many couples agree on terms with our help and formalise them with a Consent Order, making the agreement legally binding. In contested cases, the court will consider both parties’ needs, contributions, standard of living, and future earning capacity to ensure a just outcome. Our team regularly handles cases involving high net worth individuals, family businesses, pre-marital contributions, and international assets. We also advise on enforcement and variation of existing orders, as well as how to safeguard against hidden assets or non-disclosure.

No matter the size of your estate, your financial security deserves to be protected with skill and care. We work with discretion and determination to help you secure what’s fair—and what’s yours.
