Freedom to move forward
When a relationship ends, securing your financial future is of paramount importance. With decades of specialist experience, we can advise you on what is fair, reasonable and realistically achievable, so you have clarity and peace of mind as you move forward.
The financial aspects of separation, divorce or dissolution are dealt with separately to the divorce or dissolution process. There’s no formula as to how the finances should be divided – in fact, the discretion given to the Court is very wide.
As every case is unique, yours will be determined on its own facts and merits – and we’re here to ensure that your interests are protected at every step. That's why our team takes a personalised approach, tailoring our strategies to fit your unique needs and circumstances.
How we help
The first step is to have a clear understanding of all assets, pensions and incomes. We leave no stone unturned in identifying and valuing marital assets, including property, savings, investments, pensions, business interests and trusts to ensure a fair division of wealth.
Pensions can often be one of the most valuable assets – it is important all pension benefits are taken into account. Pensions are complex and need to be handled with care – a particular specialism of our team.
The Legal 500 noted that “Blanchards Bailey LLP has niche expertise in pension related family matters, with particular focus on army pensions.” Our “expertise lies within the resolution of complex financial arrangements following divorce.”
While we are able to represent clients within settlement discussions and negotiations both inside and outside the Court process, Court proceedings can increase conflict and acrimony and should be seen as a last resort.
We aim to facilitate an agreement or settlement and use alternative dispute resolution processes, if they give you a better chance of reaching a fair outcome.
