A fair financial settlement is vital for your future security. Separation can feel daunting, but with clear advice and steady guidance, the steps can be made straightforward.

At Manak Solicitors, we focus on securing a fair outcome that protects what matters most to you and your family.

We combine practical strategy with measured support, so you understand your options, make informed decisions, and move forward with confidence.

Financial Settlements matters we advise on

We provide a full range of family law services, supporting individuals and families through some of life’s most important and often challenging moments. Our approach is straightforward: clear advice, practical solutions, and a focus on resolving matters as efficiently and constructively as possible.

Division of property and assets

We help you identify and value the assets to be divided, including the family home and any growth in assets during the relationship. We negotiate firmly to reach agreement wherever possible and, when appropriate, formalise terms by consent order. If court involvement is necessary, we prepare and present your case for a financial remedy order.

Spousal maintenance

Where there is an income disparity, or where time out of work for childcare has affected earning capacity, spousal maintenance may be appropriate. We assess needs, sustainability, and the realistic pathway back to independence, always with children’s needs and the wider financial picture in mind.

Children and financial provision

Financial provision for children goes beyond basic monthly maintenance. We advise on costs for schooling, housing stability, childcare and extracurricular activities, and we structure agreements to be practical now and future‑proof where possible.

Pension sharing orders

Pensions are often one of the largest assets in a settlement. We instruct pension experts when required, explain the long‑term impact of options such as sharing or offsetting, and ensure pensions are considered alongside other assets to achieve a balanced outcome.

Business interests

Where a family or owner‑managed business is involved, we work with specialist valuers and, where needed, forensic accountants. We understand high‑net‑worth complexity and aim to protect the business while achieving a fair settlement for both parties.

Clean break orders

A clean break order can end financial ties after separation or divorce. It is not suitable in every case. We will advise whether a clean break is right for you and handle the application to secure finality where appropriate.

Financial Settlement Questions

How much will it cost?

Costs depend on what is involved and whether agreement can be reached without contested court proceedings. After an initial assessment, we provide a transparent estimate tailored to your case and keep you updated throughout. There are no hidden fees.

Do I have to go to court?

Not necessarily. Many settlements are reached through negotiation or alternative dispute resolution. To make your agreement legally binding and prevent future claims, it should be approved by the court as a consent order or financial remedy order. We will advise on the most efficient route for your circumstances.

How long does it take?

Timeframes vary with complexity, cooperation and court timetables. A negotiated consent order can often be concluded within a few months. Contested proceedings may take longer. We will set expectations carefully at the outset and keep progress under review.
