If your marriage or civil partnership has broken down you may want advice on divorce or dissolution. Our friendly and knowledgeable team will be pleased to discuss with you the procedure for getting divorced or ending your civil partnership. Divorce or dissolution is an administrative process and you do not usually have to attend at Court. This process puts you back to being single again. The legal term for this is a Decree Absolute or Dissolution order.
A Decree absolute following a divorce or dissolution proceedings will only end your marriage. It will not provide for a financial settlement in terms of your assets or income. In order to make sure that on divorce or dissolution you get your fair share of the family assets you may have worked together to build up, we always recommend that you have a final financial order containing all the details. A financial order can only be made on a divorce or dissolution. We at Mosshaselhurst Solicitors in Cheshire can provide you with expert advice on how to achieve a settlement and we can negotiate with your ex partner or their Solicitors. If we cannot reach a settlement by negotiation it may be necessary to start financial proceedings in a County Court in Cheshire. This process is known as Ancillary Relief and lets the Court make the decision for you as to how your finances are divided. Our dedicated team will prepared your case and then represent you in Court.
As an alternative to Ancillary relief, you may want to consider settling your financial dispute using the Collaborative system. This relatively new way of settling finances originated in the USA and is now starting to be used in England and Wales. Collaborative requires both parties to enter into an agreement with their Solicitor and their former partner that they will set aside their differences and work together in an amicable way to reach a settlement without starting Ancillary Relief. Mark Lever is Collaboratively trained and assists and advises people throughout Cheshire to settle their financial disputes in an amicable and dignified way.
