Financial Applications
A Financial Remedy application is the process of resolving financial arrangements or disputes arising from divorce or civil partnership dissolution.
Our family team deal with financial settlements of all types and sizes – ranging from cases with modest assets to high net worth settlements, and claims on behalf of children.
The complexity of your case will depend on a range of different factors, including, but not limited to, business interests, property values, investments and pensions.
Of course, each case is unique and no two settlements are alike, but given our solid negotiation track record, we will manage your case with confidence, committed to achieving a positive result. With your financial settlement in our hands, you are guaranteed the highest legal expertise.
The 3 Step Process
- First Court Appointment – The court reviews each party’s financial disclosure and decides how the case should progress. The judge may request more information and set the next hearing date.
- Financial Dispute Resolution (FDR) – With additional information, both parties can propose a confidential (“without prejudice”) settlement, assisted by the judge and legal teams. If agreed, the judge can formalise the settlement and end the case.
- Final Hearing – If no settlement is reached at FDR, the judge gives further directions and sets a final hearing date. At the hearing, the judge reviews all evidence and makes a binding order. Many cases settle before this stage.
If you need advice tailored to your situation or want help preparing for any stage of this process, we offer a confidential consultation for £199 (inc. VAT). Please get in touch to arrange a meeting with our expert family law team.
