It is vitally important to resolve the finances on divorce or dissolution.
You will need to consider both your immediate and longer-term needs for yourself and any children of the relationship.
The court has wide powers when it comes to deciding how the finances are divided on divorce and dissolution, and no case is the same.
The law sets out the matters which need to be taken into account when resolving the finances, and the court must balance these factors.
However, the court only needs to become involved should you not be able to resolve the financial matters by agreement.

When relationships break down, one of the issues which you will need to sort out is the amount of financial support the parent with whom your children live will receive from the other parent.
It is possible for you to reach an agreement on the level of child maintenance that is paid in which case no one else needs to become involved.
However, if it is not possible to reach an agreement then either parent can apply to the Child Maintenance Service (CMS) which was formally known as the Child Support Agency for a child maintenance assessment.

A crucial aspect of divorce involves separating joint assets and finances, including decisions about whether one partner will continue to live in the family home after divorce - or whether the home will be sold and the profits from the sale shared between the couple and any other family members who might have a share in the property.
A key aspect of resolving financial matters on divorce or dissolution is financial disclosure so that you are fully informed of the financial situation and you can make an informed decision when addressing your finances.

The financial aspects of a Judicial Separation are similar to divorce, but Judicial Separation does not have the same effect on pensions as divorce.
This is because at the end of the Judicial Separation process, the parties are still married.
Often, the biggest disadvantage to pursuing a Judicial Separate as opposed to a divorce is that you will not be able to obtain a Pension Sharing Order in the context of a Judicial Separation.
Specialist advice should always be sought upon separating from your spouse, including advice regarding the benefits and disadvantages of pursuing either divorce or Judicial Separation, depending on your circumstances.
