Frequently Asked Questions

What factors does a Family Court Judge consider when deciding on a financial settlement?

Section 25 of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973 sets out the factors that must be considered by the Court when making financial orders in divorce cases. These factors include:

The income, earning capacity, property, and other financial resources each party has access to now and in the near future.
The financial needs, obligations, and responsibilities of each of the parties now and in the near future.
The standard of living enjoyed by the family before the breakdown of the marriage.
The age of each party to the marriage and the duration of the marriage.
Any physical or mental disability of either of the parties to the marriage.
The contributions that each of the parties has made or is likely in the near future concerning caring for any children of the marriage.
The conduct of each of the parties, if that conduct is such that it would, in the opinion of the court, be inequitable to disregard it.
The value of any benefit one party will fail to acquire due to the divorce.

While all Section 25 factors are considered, their weight in each case may vary based on each parties’ circumstances. The Court aims to achieve fairness, and thus, no single factor takes precedence over others.

Do I have to go to Court to get a financial settlement?

No, and in fact, most couples are able to negotiate their divorce financial settlements between themselves. If a dispute does develop, we can help you access to mediation. This is a non-court resolution method involving a Mediator who will support you and your spouse reach a win-win solution. Mediation is typically quicker, cheaper, and far less stressful than court proceedings.

Sometimes, going to court proves inevitable, especially in circumstances where there has been a history of abuse in the relationship and therefore mediation is not a safe dispute resolution method to use. If we have to go to court to get a Financial Settlement Order, you can be confident that our Divorce Law Solicitors will support you every step of the way and fight tenaciously to ensure you get the financial settlement you need.

What is a Consent Order?

If you and your ex-spouse agree a financial settlement between yourselves, it is always advisable to apply to the Court for a Consent Order. This will make you agreement legally binding and stop your ex-spouse from re-opening the financial settlement in the future. Although Consent Orders can be varied, there has to be exceptional circumstances present before the Court will take such a step.
