Financial clean break

Ancillary Relief

When a couple get divorced, both parties can make an application to the divorce court for various financial orders. These financial orders are collectively referred to as ancillary relief.

Protect yourself

There are a number of very good reasons why you should consider obtaining a financial clean break order.

A financial claim can be made regardless of the length of the marriage, the grounds for divorce, who owns what, or who is divorcing who.

There is no time limit for filing a financial claim, and it can happen years after the final divorce decree absolute has been granted.

Either party can file a financial claim at any time, even if a voluntary financial agreement was reached at the time of separation.

Either party can file a financial claim at any time, even if it was specifically agreed at the time of separation that neither party would make a future claim for financial orders

Either party can file a financial claim at any time, even if it is unjustifiable to do so. There is little to prevent a party from running up substantial legal costs for both spouses by pursuing an unreasonable claim, yet it is very difficult to get an order for legal costs if this happens.

Either party can file a financial claim at any time, even regarding events that take place a long time after the separation or divorce - such as a pay rise, bonus payment, inheritance or family gift.

Peace of Mind

The only way to achieve certainty is to apply for a financial clean break order. Once this order is granted, the potential financial claims of both spouses are dismissed once and for all - with no comeback.
