Financial Planning on Divorce

Reaching a financial settlement can be of great concern and a stressful part of the divorce process. One or both of the parties to a divorce may not be confident making financial decisions or may have questions about certain aspects of their finances.

The decisions you make on how to divide your finances can have immediate and long term consequences for example being able to stay in the family home or whether you can retire when you wanted to.

The financial planning service we offer can help you:

• Understand your finances
• Make decision confidently and on an equal footing
• Appreciate the implications both short and long term of any decisions
• Be sure that the decisions you have made are fair to both parties
• Create a framework for future management of your finances

Our service can be a full financial planning report or a validation service to check the decisions and agreement you have reached.
