Without a financial settlement in place, your assets and money will still be linked with your ex-partner.
At Thomas Flavell & Sons, we help you navigate this process with calm, clarity and expert legal advice - ensuring your settlement is fair, thorough, and tailored to your circumstances.
It can cover a wide range of assets and liabilities, including:
It's not just about splitting what you have now - it's also about securing your financial independence in the future.
Yes. Without a legally binding Financial Remedy Order, you could be at risk of future claims - even years after your divorce is finalised. Divorce itself doesn’t end your financial ties. We’ve seen cases where people were pursued for assets long after separating. A clean break order, where appropriate, ensures finality and peace of mind.
There are several ways to come to an agreement, depending on your situation:
Had an appointment with Judith today. Her advice was very clear as she highlighted possible scenarios of the issue discussed and made the whole tangled topic much easier to grasp. Thank you. Will definitely use TFS services again.
Navigating financial settlement. Louise and Carol were both an absolute pleasure to deal with. So knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. They both made a rather overwhelming and unknown situation manageable. Can’t thank them enough.

Our Family team offers friendly, jargon-free advice on all areas of divorce and family law. We've also added some frequently asked questions here which may help you in learning more about your situation.
It’s the formal process of dividing finances after separation. This includes property, money, pensions, and debts - and it ensures a clean and fair financial break.
Only once it’s been made into a Consent Order and approved by the Court. This protects both parties and removes the risk of future claims.
Each case is unique. Courts aim for fairness, taking into account needs, contributions, and what’s best for any children. Pensions can be shared, offset or earmarked. Business and international assets must be disclosed and can be included in the settlement.
It is important to consider what income you need to live on, not only now, but in the future.
Only in exceptional circumstances - such as a significant change in situation - can it be reviewed. Once agreed, it’s very rare for settlements to be altered.
While not legally required, it's highly recommended. Divorce finances are complex and have lasting implications. Without expert advice, you could miss out on what you’re entitled to - or worse, face claims down the line.
When you're facing big changes at home, it’s natural to feel a bit lost or unsure. That’s why we offer an initial fixed fee consultation - a chance to sit down with one of our friendly family law experts and talk things through properly.
The meeting usually lasts around an hour, giving us time to understand what’s going on and explain your options in plain English. No pressure, no jargon - just practical advice to help you feel more in control. After that, you can take some time to think about whether you'd like us to help you take things forward.
Before we meet, we’ll send you access to Engage, our secure online questionnaire. It’s clever stuff - tailored to your situation, so you don’t have to answer irrelevant questions. It saves time on the day and helps us focus on what really matters to you. And don’t worry - everything you share is encrypted and safely emailed back to you for your peace of mind.
