The importance of professional advice on finance in separation and divorce

Jan 18, 2016

It is crucial to seek expert advice at the time of a separation. 

The recent error with the Ministry of Justice online form has led to suggestions that some separated couples may have to re-open negotiations. This is likely to affect mostly couples choosing to act without a solicitor. This is why it is important to always seek specialist bespoke advice and we will try to ensure your costs are proportionate to the value of your case.

Divorce is a crucial time for a family and addressing future financial security is essential.

For help and advice in relation to this matter, please contact Sarah Buxton via seb@walkerfoster.com or 01756 700200.
