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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
If your divorce finances or arrangements proceed to court, we work with some of the best family law barristers across England and Wales.
No matter where you live, we have trusted professionals within reach.
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
