What if my partner tries to sell property and assets before we get divorced? ============================================================================ If you are involved in divorce proceedings and have concerns that your partner may sell property or other assets, Vardags' experienced team can assist you in making an application to court. During financial proceedings, both parties are obligated to provide [full and frank disclosure of their finances](https://vardags.com/law-guide/how-the-courts-decide-a-financial-settlement/what-is-financial-disclosure-in-divorce). Selling or hiding assets directly contradicts this obligation and carries serious [legal consequences](https://vardags.com/law-guide/financial-proceedings/what-are-the-penalties-for-non-disclosure-in-divorce). There may be legitimate reasons for selling assets, such as a mutual agreement to sell the family home. However, if you are worried that your spouse is selling assets at an undervalue, spending the proceeds, or transferring property to friends and family, you should seek urgent legal advice. If you suspect that your spouse is selling assets to defeat or reduce your financial settlement claim, your solicitor can apply to the family court for an [injunction order](https://vardags.com/law-guide/financial-proceedings/freezing-order). An injunction can prevent your partner from disposing of property both in the UK and abroad. Essentially, the injunction 'freezes' the property to protect it, and the asset does not need to be in both of your names to be safeguarded. Alternatively, the court may [reverse the sale](https://vardags.com/law-guide/financial-proceedings/setting-aside-a-transaction) or award you a greater share of the remaining assets. **If you're considering or going through a divorce, click below for a free initial consultation with one of our expert divorce solicitors.** [CONTACT US](https://vardags.com/contact "CONTACT US") About Us -------- Ayesha VardagFounder & President "A DIVORCE LAWYER WIDELY REGARDED AS ONE OF THE WORLD'S BEST" The Metro Vardags offer a unique approach to the law, specially tailored to the needs of HNW individuals.
