Financial and Property Settlements

At Ramsdens Solicitors, our primary goal is to work with you to secure the best divorce settlement for you if you’re ending your marriage or civil partnership. This is particularly prevalent when it comes to the financial and property settlement that we work with you on securing.

Key considerations

Before reaching an agreement, both parties must fully disclose their financial and property assets. We help ensure a fair settlement by considering:

  • Welfare of minor children: ensuring children’s needs are prioritised
  • Earnings: current and potential, including pensions
  • Contributions: both domestic and financial contributions to the marriage
  • Assets: property and other financial holdings
  • Debts
  • Standard of living: the lifestyle maintained during the marriage
  • Marriage duration
  • Ages of both parties

  • Initial advice: guidance on the best approach
