How Breakthrough Solicitors support you with finances and property matters
Every financial situation is different. The right approach depends on your circumstances — whether you are agreeing a settlement for the first time, enforcing an existing order, or dealing with cross-border complexity.
At Breakthrough Solicitors, we provide clear support across all stages:
- Initial consultation: We take time to understand your financial position and listen to your situation.
- Negotiation and agreement: Where both parties are willing to engage, we help negotiate a fair settlement and ensure it is properly documented and legally binding.
- Mediation and alternative dispute resolution: Where direct negotiation has not been successful, mediation can provide a constructive, cost-effective route to resolution without court proceedings.
- Court applications: Where matters cannot be resolved outside court, we advise on the appropriate application and provide clear representation throughout.
- Finalising and implementing the settlement: Once an agreement is reached or an order is made, we ensure the terms are properly implemented — including pension sharing, property transfers, and ongoing maintenance arrangements.
Common challenges in finances and property matters — and how we help you prepare
Financial disputes following a separation rarely resolve themselves quickly or simply. Being well-informed and well-prepared from the outset can make a big difference — both to the outcome and to the time and cost involved in getting there.
Key ways to strengthen your position:
- Gather full financial disclosure early: Courts require both parties to be open and honest about their financial position. Gathering documents — including bank statements, pension valuations, and property appraisals — early in the process avoids delays later.
- Go beyond an informal agreement: A verbal or written agreement between separating couples is not legally binding. Without a court-approved order, either party can make future financial claims.
- Understand the full range of assets involved: Financial settlements cover more than just the family home. Pensions, business interests, investments, and overseas assets all form part of the picture.
- Take advice before making significant financial decisions: Selling assets, transferring property, or making large financial commitments during proceedings can complicate or prejudice your position.
- Act promptly if an order is not being followed: If the other party is not complying with a financial order, understand why and whether or not further legal action is required.
Your rights and options in finances and property matters — and how our solicitors support you
Understanding your legal position if often the foundation of any successful financial settlement. We help you:
- Negotiate and formalise a financial settlement through a consent order (a court-approved document that makes your agreement legally binding)
- Apply for a financial remedy order — a court order that decides how money and property are split when you can’t agree — where agreement cannot be reached
- Enforce an existing financial order where the other party is not complying
- We advise whether ongoing spousal maintenance is likely to be appropriate, or whether a clean break (ending all future financial claims between you) — is achievable, so you understand your long-term position.
- Pursue pension sharing, offsetting, or attachment (different ways of splitting pension savings as part of a settlement)
- Make a financial claim following an overseas divorce under Part III of the Matrimonial and Family Proceedings Act 1984 — (the law that lets you claim here after a divorce abroad)
- Protect assets through injunctive relief (an emergency court order to stop assets being sold or hidden) — where there is a risk of disposal or dissipation
- Resolve disputes through mediation or arbitration where appropriate
Our aim is always to reach a fair, legally sound outcome as efficiently as possible — protecting your financial future at every step.
