Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about property and asset division

How are assets divided in divorce?
The court aims for fairness, considering the length of marriage, each person's needs, earning capacity, and contributions. The starting point is usually equal division, but the actual outcome depends on your circumstances.
What happens to the family home?
Options include selling and dividing proceeds, one spouse buying out the other, or transferring ownership as part of a broader settlement. We help you understand the options and negotiate the best outcome.
Are pensions included in divorce?
Yes, pensions are often one of the largest matrimonial assets. They can be shared, offset against other assets, or have their income divided when paid. Pension sharing requires specialist knowledge—we work with pension experts to ensure fair treatment.
