Overview

Get expert legal help for your divorce financial settlement

Understanding financial settlements

A financial settlement sets out how assets such as property, savings, pensions and income are divided following divorce. For many people, this is one of the most stressful parts of the process, with long-term consequences for financial security.

Support tailored to your situation

We take time to understand your circumstances and priorities. Our role is to guide you through your options, explain what is realistic and help you make informed decisions that support your future independence and stability.

Our guide to financial settlements during divorce explains how the settlement is worked out.

Resolving matters without court where possible

Many financial settlements can be agreed through negotiation or mediation, avoiding the emotional and financial strain of court proceedings. We will support you in reaching agreement where possible, and represent you robustly if court becomes necessary.

Putting children and fairness first

Any settlement must take account of children’s needs and aim to be fair to both parties. We help you navigate this balance carefully, with clear advice at every stage.

The family team at Tees is led by dedicated and committed partners whose professionalism percolates through the whole department.
