Facing difficult financial decisions after divorce or dissolution? Our Financial Agreement solicitors will guide you through every step.
Sorting out finances is often the most complex and time-consuming part of a divorce or dissolution. As a couple, your assets are likely deeply connected – from property and pensions to savings and debts – and unpicking those ties takes time, clarity, and legal support you can trust.
If you have a prenuptial agreement (or prenup) in place, although they're not necessarily legally binding, they can help express the early intentions of both parties. Without one, this process can be tricky and can cause conflict, especially if you cannot agree on how to split your finances.
At GloverPriest, we’re here to help you reach fair, future-focused agreements that make sense for your life now – and protect you in the long term.
Whether you’re just starting the process or already working through separation, we’ll guide you every step of the way. Get in touch today.

What to Expect When Arranging Finances After a Divorce or Dissolution
One of the most important steps in any divorce or dissolution is reaching a fair financial agreement. For some couples, this can be straightforward. For others, especially where things feel unequal or emotionally charged, the right legal support can make all the difference.
Here’s what the financial agreements process usually involves:
- Sharing financial information – both of you will need to be open and honest about what you own and owe, including savings, property, pensions and debts.
- Reaching an agreement – this might happen through negotiation with the help of solicitors, or via mediation if needed.
- Making it official – once you’ve both agreed, we’ll help you apply for a financial order, such as a consent order or clean break order, to make your agreement final and legally binding.
- Going to court (if needed) – if agreement isn’t possible, we’ll guide you through the court process to help you reach a fair outcome.
Even if things are amicable, a financial order gives you peace of mind by drawing a clear line under your financial ties. Without one, your ex could still make a claim in the future – even after you've moved on.
How Are Assets Divided in a Divorce or Dissolution?
The division of assets during a divorce or dissolution can be a complex process, especially when financial ties are closely knit or one person feels they deserve a bigger percentage of assets than the other. Getting legal help becomes crucial in these scenarios, and options include family mediation, arbitration sessions, or, as a last resort, court intervention.
While a divorce or dissolution formally ends a marriage or civil partnership, it doesn't automatically resolve the financial aspects. Your ex-spouse may still have the right to claim a share of assets, including pensions, even if acquired post-divorce. Remarrying stops you from making financial claims against your ex-spouse, but they may still have that option if they haven't remarried.
Agreements on asset division are formalised in a financial order, which is court-approved and prevents future claims. This consideration applies even if you believe there are no assets to divide. Resolving financial matters outside the court is possible, however, you still need court approval when you agree amongst yourselves, to make your agreement legally binding by way of an order, known as a "consent order."
