Financial Planning During Divorce

Divorce often results in financial uncertainty. Without a clear plan, you may face challenges such as unequal asset division, insufficient funds for retirement, or tax implications you hadn’t considered. Professional financial planning ensures:

  • Fair Asset Division: Identifying and valuing all assets, including pensions, property, savings, and investments.
  • Tax Efficiency: Minimising tax liabilities during asset transfers or sales.
  • Long-Term Security: Rebuilding your financial strategy for the future, factoring in new circumstances.

Key Areas to Consider
1. Pensions and Retirement Funds

Pensions are often the second-largest asset after property, but they can be overlooked during settlements. Whether through pension sharing orders, earmarking orders, or offsetting, ensuring a fair division of these assets is critical for your financial future.

2. Property and Housing

Deciding who retains the family home, whether to sell and split the proceeds, or to buy out a partner’s share requires careful financial analysis. Consider future housing needs and affordability post-divorce.

3. Maintenance Payments and Child Support

Financial agreements must reflect ongoing commitments, especially for child maintenance or spousal support. It's vital to ensure these arrangements are fair and sustainable.

4. Business Interests

If either party owns a business, its valuation and treatment can significantly impact the settlement. Expert advice ensures business assets are managed effectively.

5. Tax Implications

Divorce-related transactions, such as transferring property or selling assets, may have Capital Gains Tax (CGT) implications. Understanding these tax liabilities can help you plan better.

6. Estate Planning

Divorce is an opportune time to update your Will and review inheritance tax planning, ensuring your assets are distributed according to your wishes.
