Frequently Asked Questions

How much money will I receive?

One of the significant concerns for many couples facing separation is, “Who will get what?” Solicitors often talk of the matrimonial estate to describe the assets and income of the married couple. The situation is very different for unmarried couples. You should take specific advice. The law is evolving constantly and the court will look at certain factors to determine who is to receive what. It is often the needs of the parties which and in particular the need for the parties to rehouse which is the court’s primary consideration.

I have moved out of the matrimonial home, can I stop paying the mortgage?

Separation puts a considerable strain on family finances. If you have to move out and rent a property where you can live then this can represent an extra considerable strain. Unfortunately, the fact of your separation does not relieve you of your obligations under a Mortgage Deed. You should seek advice on how to manage finances and what your entitlements are.

How can we help with your finances?

We assist with navigating the division of family assets and resolving financial matters during divorce or separation, including out-of-court settlement options to avoid costly and stressful court proceedings.

How do i apply to court for financial matters?

We prioritise amicable solutions like mediation and collaboration for resolving family disputes but are experienced in guiding clients through court proceedings when necessary to achieve fair financial outcomes.

Finances are often the most challenging aspect of divorce or separation, with concerns about dividing assets, the family home, pensions, and maintenance for children or a former partner.

At Belderbos Solicitors, we provide expert guidance to help you secure a fair financial settlement, which can be made legally binding through a consent order.

While we prioritise amicable solutions like mediation, our experienced solicitors are ready to represent you in court when necessary to protect your interests.

When an agreement cannot be reached, financial applications may be required to resolve disputes. These can include applications for:

  • Maintenance Orders: Addressing financial support for children or a former partner.
  • Property Adjustment Orders: Deciding what happens to the family home or other property.
  • Pension Sharing Orders: Dividing pensions fairly between both parties.
  • Lump Sum Orders: Securing a one-off payment as part of the settlement.

Applications to court should always be a last resort, as they can be costly and time-consuming. However, when necessary, our team is equipped to guide you through the process with professionalism and care.
