Family Law Client
High-asset divorce cases have the potential to develop into complex financial disputes because a marital estate is rarely straightforward when it contains a large portfolio of assets. The assets involved tend to sit within layered structures, international arrangements or business ownership models that require detailed analysis before a fair division can be reached. These cases demand a level of scrutiny far beyond that applied to the standard divorce process.
Many people focus on divorce when looking to bring a marriage to an end, but annulment can occasionally be an option in certain exceptional circumstances. Understanding the key differences can help one or both spouses decide whether annulment is an option, particularly when personal circumstances, religious beliefs or the nature of the marriage itself play a part.
Ending a marriage or civil partnership brings understandable concern about finances. You may be unsure how the family home will be dealt with, what will happen to a pension fund or whether you will have enough financial support to manage daily life after the divorce. You may worry about the prospect of becoming financially independent for the first time in many years, or about how future financial responsibilities will be shared.
For fathers who aren’t married, questions about what used to be called child custody can create real anxiety. You might be worried that you’ll lose contact with your child, or unsure about your legal position if your relationship ends. In England and Wales, unmarried parents start from a different position under the law than married parents, but the court does not give automatic preference to either parent based on marital status.
