Divorce and Family Lawyers

Across England and Wales

44 years’ experience in divorce finances

Sorting out finances is often the most complex and stressful part of a divorce — particularly where property, pensions, businesses, or overseas assets are involved.

Our founder, Caroline Mehdi, brings over 44 years of specialist divorce and family law experience, including extensive work on complex financial settlements both in and out of court. That experience underpins the advice we give every client.

You’ll be guided clearly, calmly, and confidently — with a full understanding of your options and costs from the outset.

Consent Orders

We offer a fixed fee from £400 for preparing and submitting a straightforward clean break Consent Order, where there are no assets to divide or assets have already been agreed and shared.

A Consent Order is a legally binding document that records your financial agreement and is approved by the court.

Why a financial consent order is important

In most divorces, a financial Consent Order is essential.

Without a Consent Order dealing with financial claims, your spouse or ex-spouse may be able to make a claim in the future, even many years after the divorce has been finalised.

This could include claims against:

  • Property

  • Income

  • Savings

  • Pensions

  • Business interests

  • Inheritance or lottery winnings

A properly drafted Consent Order brings certainty and finality, protecting both parties from future claims.

What is a mutually agreed financial settlement

If you and your partner are still on good terms, it may be possible to agree on how to divide your finances without conflict.

Once you’ve reached an agreement about property, savings, pensions, or other assets, we can prepare a Consent Order — a legal document that records what you’ve agreed. Both parties sign it, and it is then sent to the court for approval.

When a judge approves and seals the Consent Order, it becomes legally binding, meaning neither person can make further financial claims in the future. This gives both of you certainty and finality.

Before signing, it’s important to make sure your settlement is fair and complete. Ask yourself:

  • Does it properly meet both your needs and those of any children?

  • Have all assets been included — property, pensions, savings, shares, business interests, and investments?

  • Have key assets been professionally valued where necessary?

We can advise you on whether your proposed settlement is reasonable and ensure everything is properly covered before the agreement goes to court.

If your Consent Order includes a clean break, it confirms that neither party can make future financial claims — for example, on income, assets, or inheritance.

Without a Consent Order in place, your spouse or ex-spouse could still make a financial claim later, even years after the divorce.

What if you can’t agree

Disputes over finances can arise for many reasons and often involve:

  • The family home

  • Rental or overseas property

  • Pensions

  • Businesses or self-employment

  • Trusts or offshore assets

These cases can feel overwhelming — but this is exactly the work we do.

With over 44 years of experience in divorce and family law, we have seen and resolved virtually every type of financial dispute, both through negotiation and court proceedings. You’ll be in safe, experienced hands throughout.

Clear fees and excellent value

Our fees are clear, competitive, and agreed upfront.

Where a fixed fee isn’t appropriate, we offer competitive hourly rates, typically around 50% lower than most traditional family law firms, without compromising on expertise or care.

Every case is different, and we’ll always explain costs clearly based on the complexity of your situation and the work required.

No matter where you live, we have trusted professionals within reach.

Finding undisclosed assets when You divorce

When reaching a financial settlement, both parties must give full and honest disclosure of their assets — including property, pensions, savings, investments, shares, and business interests.

Unfortunately, it’s not uncommon for one person to try to conceal or undervalue assets to gain an unfair advantage. Hidden wealth can take many forms, such as:

  • Transferring money into another person’s or company’s account

  • Moving funds offshore or into foreign bank accounts

  • Holding money in a child’s or relative’s name

  • Undervaluing property, businesses, or investments

  • Transferring property ownership to someone else

Our team is experienced in uncovering hidden assets and tracing financial activity to ensure you receive a fair settlement. With access to skilled forensic accountants, investigators, and financial experts.

Whether your case involves a family home or complex, high-value international assets, we know where to look — and how to ensure you get a fair and accurate settlement.
