Every divorce involves financial claims, and it is essential to have the right legal support from an experienced family finance solicitor. Most people will have property such as the family home, pensions, savings, and investments to consider. Philip Porter is one of only a small number of Law Society–accredited Advanced Matrimonial Finance Lawyers in the North West, giving you the assurance that your finances will be handled with expertise.

We deal with a wide range of cases, from high-net-worth multi-million-pound assets with UK and international interests, to situations involving more modest portfolios. Even if you have no significant assets, it is still vital to secure a court order preventing your ex-spouse from making future claims. A divorce alone does not provide the long-term financial protection you need, and without a financial order your ex-spouse may still be able to pursue a claim in the future.

Family Law Finance and Financial Settlements

When negotiating a financial settlement, the court considers several factors such as the length of the marriage, the age and financial position of each party, and the standard of living during the relationship. Income, future earning potential, and ongoing obligations like mortgages or tenancy agreements are also taken into account. Above all, the welfare of any children under 18 remains the first priority.

There are various options available to resolve finance claims, and the experts at Fiona Bruce can guide you through each one to find the best way forward for your individual situation. No two cases are the same, and assets are not always divided 50:50. Our experienced family finance solicitors in Warrington are here to provide clear, practical advice and support at every stage.
