Divorce will change your financial status, therefore it is essential that you know exactly what your marital financial status is before starting the process. This is the best way to protect yourself before, during and after your divorce. Each spouse must disclose all their assets to the other. This is called full financial disclosure and is essential. In most cases both parties are open and honest sometimes however this is not the case. We can help you obtain the proper information if your husband or wife is uncooperative.

There are also ways to decrease the cost of divorce and our Family Lawteam are experienced in helping this happen. We will advise you whether you are eligible for public funding from the legal services commission.

Firstly, it is essential that you try to avoid a contested divorce, we are aware that divorce can be a bitter process, but the more amicable you try to be, the easier and cheaper the process. However we do appreciate that this will be almost impossible in some cases.

Secondly, ascertaining which issues are most important to you right from the beginning of the divorce process will ensure that we are focussed on our aims from the start.

Thirdly, using mediation is another way of keeping the cost of divorce down, however we will explain these terms in greater detail during a scheduled meeting at our Skegness office.

The financial implications of divorce and separation are perhaps the most serious aspect of divorce, which is why we employ specially trained solicitors to deal with such matters. Divorce not only affects standard of living but also has an emotional impact on both parties and their children, and this is taken into consideration at all times.

If children are involved, often the party who is caring for the children will either not be working or will have to seriously consider their options if they are in work. Settling a divorce upon these circumstances is a difficult task, but our Family Law team will dedicate their time to cater to your needs.

The party without the children is more often than not going to be liable for some form of maintenance for the children and perhaps for their spouse.  At Frearsons Family Law we can offer all the advice you require and determine all of your legal obligations and rights.

Many couples will experience financial difficulties after separation especially where only one party works full time.

If need be, consideration will need to be given to obtaining work, Welfare Benefits, and Financial Orders from the Court  to secure income and in particular housing.

We will be more than happy to arrange a meeting with you to discuss any matters which may concern you.
