Negotiation Service

If you’ve separated from your partner, you’ll need to work out how you plan on separating your finances. This includes dividing any money, property, pensions, and debt.

You will also need to go through the legal steps to get divorced and make your financial arrangements legally binding through a consent order to end the possibility of future claims (a ‘clean break’).

Our Negotiation service is designed to help couples navigate the legal and financial journey of divorce.

For parents, we also offer a Separating with Children Service.
