Best Financial Advisors in Brighton

This is an increasingly prevalent issue in the process of divorce/separation called parental alienation and should be brought to our attention during proceedings if you are concerned this is happening to you. This behaviour can be considered during court proceedings, so will be taken seriously if we are made aware of it.

This is a very rare occurrence, particularly since the introduction of no-fault divorce systems. We will ensure that we work towards a financial settlement that is fair to both parties and gives priority to the welfare and needs of any children that may be involved. Extreme behaviour may be taken into account, for example, in cases of domestic violence having a lasting effect on one party. Equally, if one party deliberately sabotages the financial position by spending recklessly or destroying assets, for example, this may be taken into account.

You must have been married or in a civil partnership for at least a year in order to enter into divorce proceedings. If this requirement has not been met, you may apply to annul the marriage or complete a judicial separation application, a service we can also assist with.

Fees will differ dependent on the specific circumstances of your divorce. We charge an hourly rate and provide you with regular costs updates, plus offer advice regarding minimising costs through an increased personal involvement in the process. All fees will be discussed during your free initial consultation and the subsequent proceedings, so you will never be left in the dark. There may also be court costs applicable to your case.
