financial settlements and the clean break
Nearly all divorces involve financial issues of one sort or another. Here are the most common:
maintenance for one of the spouses
maintenance for one or more of the
children
payment of capital (savings) by
one spouse to the other
adjustment of ownership in the matrimonial
home or other property
adjustment of the interests either
spouse may have in the pension of
the other
no adjustments to any assets or investor but the parties want a legally binding 'clean break' order
If you have reached agreement on one or all of these points our financial clean break service is designed for you.
the clean break
Probably the form of financial order which
has received the most attention from the media and lawyers over recent
years is the 'clean break order'.
It is called a 'clean break order' because it is intended, once and for all, to end all the financial claims either spouse may have against the other. Once such an order is made the court will dismiss all financial claims that the spouses may have for ever even after one of them dies! It is important to remember that the clean break only operates between the spouses themselves. It is not possible for the spouses to settle all claims for the future financial provision of the children in this way. Also if there is a future application for state support from the DWP a subsequent assessment for child maintenance by the CSA may also include an amount for the parent looking after the children.
You can view a list of what may be agreed upon that can be incorporated in the clean break order on our service page.
This is what our service is designed to provide. We will draft the order for you, give you the associated documentation you need and give you free email advice and support until the order is finally granted.
