My Approach
It’s easy to feel confused and put off by the complexities of divorce settlements.
My role is to guide you through the jargon, the complexities and the options until you are confident enough to make an informed choice. Remember, you get one chance at making this settlement work best for you.
I will firstly look at where you are in the divorce process and ascertain what your goals and objectives are. I will support you with advice and guidance on your options (often in conjunction with your solicitor). Finally I will help you to implement and finalise the court orders in a timely manner ensuring that your financial planning needs are met throughout the process.
Typically clients instruct me on a specific aspect or to complete a court report or to implement a pension sharing order. However, it is possible to instruct me to help you through the whole process.

Pre Divorce
Prior to the financial negotiations it is imperative that you have the right information. I can assist you with the gathering of financial information and provide analysis of what has been put on Form E so that you have a thorough understanding of your financial situation.
If an inquiry is needed into a specific asset such as a pension or there is a lack of information I will guide you on how to rectify this and request the necessary further information you need. I will assist you to understand what the responses are and mean. I will confirm what information you can request.
I will also provide you with advice and guidance on what your options are so that you can enter the negotiations with confidence.
Negotiations
During the negotiations I provide advice, reassurance and guidance on the settlement terms on offer. I can also assist with brainstorming ideas on the options and how best to settle.
I will ensure that you understand your financial settlement and feel confident to make informed decisions.
Post Divorce Planning
Once the settlement is concluded I will guide you on the implementation of any financial orders, particularly, a pension sharing order.
My financial planning service will help you to understand the numbers better and ensure your future plans are secure.
