Divorce, inevitably, is a time of change. Yet, when it comes to the financial aspects of divorce, the courts try to retain stability. Because of this, and based on the precedent of White v White, the English courts will generally share everything earned during the marriage equally between both parties.
Courts will assess the full range of assets built up during the marriage, including those held through corporate entities or in trusts. The court will then consider a number of factors, from the needs of children to the standard of living enjoyed before divorce, to come to a financial settlement.
Whether you are looking to protect your assets or ensure you can maintain your standard of living, it is essential to have the best legal team on your side. As a top family law firm, Vardags can help you get the best possible result from your financial proceedings.
