Family Law Fact: Clean Break Settlement

Clean break settlements are used by a divorcing couple wishing to have a fresh start after the divorce is finalised without being financially tied to the other party. It is a type of financial order that the courts can make and once implemented means that there are no financial commitments (other than child maintenance if relevant).


How does a clean break settlement work and who can get one?

 


A clean break settlement will effectively end the financial relationship between a couple following a divorce. The parties will no longer have any financial claim over their ex-spouse, including in relation to future pensions. Without such an agreement, either party can potentially make a claim at any time in the future.
The length of marriage can determine whether or not it is appropriate. A shorter marriage (under five years) will generally be easier for a clean break, for example if both parties have jobs and capital can be easily separated. However, it may be harder with a longer marriage, since it is more likely that one party did not work to look after the home and/or raise a family. In these cases, spousal maintenance may be appropriate making it unlikely that a clean break would be granted by the courts.
