With the introduction of no fault divorce by the Government, some people are choosing to keep lawyers out of it to save some money. At Fiona Bruce Solicitors we are finding that many who choose to go it alone are missing out on crucial advice around financial settlements.

Many think that as long as they get the divorce and agree between themselves how to separate assets then all is fine. They do not know that they remain at risk of their ex spouse making a claim against their assets at any point in the future and if they do so the starting point for a court is division of assets at the time of the claim, not at the time of the divorce.

Without a carefully and professionally drafted Clean Break court order as part of the divorce, or even after the divorce, then those risks are real. Don’t fall in to that risk group. Take professional advice. Protect your present and protect your future.
