You will need to think about how capital, pension provision and income should be divided upon divorce or dissolution. We will advise you about this complex area of law and help you to identify the best way of achieving your objectives, whether through solicitor negotiation, mediation, collaborative law or, where necessary, Court proceedings or arbitration.

Although not the easiest of options, mediation can be an effective route to reaching a resolution, whilst avoiding Court. It can be used on straightforward and highly complex cases where significant wealth is involved.

Separating couple may wish to formalise their separation and subsequent financial arrangements without divorcing. This is most commonly due to religious beliefs and known as judicial separation or 'religious divorce'.
