What Are Financial Remedies?

Financial remedies are the legal arrangements that deal with how finances are divided following divorce or the dissolution of a civil partnership. They are designed to achieve a fair outcome, taking into account both parties’ needs, resources, and contributions.

Financial remedies can cover:

  • The family home and other property
  • Savings, investments, and shares
  • Pensions (often one of the most valuable assets)
  • Business interests
  • Debts and liabilities
  • Spousal maintenance and clean break agreements

Reaching a legally binding financial settlement ensures certainty and prevents future claims.

How Are Financial Remedies Decided?

The law does not apply a simple formula. Instead, the court considers a range of factors set out in the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973, including:

  • The welfare and needs of any children
  • Each party’s income, earning capacity, and financial resources
  • Financial needs, obligations, and responsibilities
  • Standard of living during the marriage
  • Age of both parties and the length of the marriage
  • Contributions made by each party (financial and non-financial)

Our role is to present your case clearly and strategically, ensuring your position is fully understood and properly supported.

Resolving Matters Without Going to Court

Court proceedings are not always necessary. Wherever possible, we help clients resolve financial matters through:

  • Negotiation between solicitors
  • Mediation
  • Collaborative law
  • Solicitor-led settlement discussions

These approaches can reduce conflict, save time and costs, and give you greater control over the outcome. If an agreement is reached, we will ensure it is converted into a legally binding consent order.

When Court Proceedings Are Necessary

If agreement cannot be reached, we have extensive experience representing clients in financial remedy proceedings. We will guide you through every stage, from issuing the application to final hearing, explaining the process clearly and advocating firmly on your behalf.


Why Choose Us?

  • Specialist family law expertise
  • Clear, practical advice tailored to your circumstances
  • A strategic yet constructive approach
  • Transparent costs and regular updates
  • A strong focus on protecting your long-term financial security

We understand that no two cases are the same. Whether your situation is straightforward or involves high-value or complex assets, we will provide advice that is realistic, robust, and focused on your priorities.


Take the First Step

If you are considering divorce or are already going through the process, early advice can make a significant difference. Contact our family law team today for a confidential discussion about your financial position and the options available to you.

We are here to help you move forward with confidence.

Words from our clients

“

...In our brief time working with Pepperell's we have been very pleased with their quality of service and professionalism...

After calling 15 carefully picked solicitors, Pepperell’s were the only firm that returned our call and took our business seriously. They carefully gathered information and explained their quotation in a transparent and reasonable fashion. We look forward to working with Pepperells in the future.

...Dealing with Pepperells and Natasha as my solicitor couldn't have been any easier...

Any questions, concerns or problems I encoutered throughout my house buying process were dealt with quickly and clearly. Theres nothing more I could have asked for and could not have been made any easier for me.

...Pepperells and in particular Patrick Craft and his team are extremely professional and you can be 100 % certain that a thorough job is done...

Patrick picked up on an issue that the seller’s solicitor should have seen 2 years ago when the house was first built and had failed to do so, but Patrick was on the ball and would not proceed until the issue was addressed. I would always recommend Pepperells and esp Patrick. Absolutely excellent service. Thank you.
