It is extremely important to ensure that you have a financial order as part of your divorce. Many people often mistakenly believe that financial issues are resolved following decree absolute which ends your marriage. This is incorrect and those financial claims remain open until resolved. Our family team regular advise on complex financial agreement following decree absolute.
