Sorting out maintenance, money and property issues often ends up as the priority in the event of separation or divorce. It is essential that you take advice on seeking full disclosure from the other side and on any offer made.
As an alternative to Court proceedings, steps should be taken to resolve matters by use of professional mediators or by formal meetings between solicitors and clients (known as collaborative law).
The Courts insist on the involvement of the parties themselves and Judges tend to take a very hands on part in the matter.
There is a hearing known as a financial disputes resolution hearing where the Judge will give guidance on a likely end result and encourage the parties to negotiate and settle.
Very few matters reach a final contested hearing and costs are considerable and to be avoided if possible.
You need expert advice throughout.
