When assets are diverse, intertwined, or held in multiple structures, divorce settlements can become highly technical. Our solicitors at The Divorce Lawyers excel in resolving disputes involving complicated asset portfolios.

Examples of Complex Assets

  • Company ownership and directorships
  • Family businesses and partnerships
  • Pensions with substantial accrued value
  • Investment portfolios and bonds
  • Offshore holdings or foreign real estate

How long does the divorce process take in the UK?

On average, an uncontested divorce in the UK takes between 4 to 6 months. However, the timeline may vary depending on court processing times and how quickly both parties respond to necessary documents.

Do I need to go to court for a divorce?

In most uncontested cases, attending court is not required. The divorce process can be handled entirely on paper unless there are disputes over finances or children, in which case a court appearance may be necessary.

How is child custody decided?

Child custody decisions are made with the child’s best interests as the priority. Courts consider factors like the child’s needs, each parent’s ability to provide care, and existing relationships before issuing custody or contact orders.

How are assets divided during a divorce?

Assets are typically divided based on fairness, not equality. The court considers factors such as income, property, financial needs, and contributions made by each party when determining a financial settlement.
