In this short article, our divorce solicitors in Guildford will cover the basics of financial divorce as well as touching on the family mediation services we provide.
Division of income
It is important to know that there is no set formula used when it comes to dividing income and assets between parties, but our solicitors will keep you updated on the exact way your income is being split up. At this stage, it really is important that you seek out legal help, as your income and assets include the home, business interests, trusts, pensions and future earnings.

Mediation
Before any decisions are made regarding financial matters and childcare arrangement, yourself and your ex-partner will have to attend mediating appointments that will help to work out your divorces and everything included. The mediator appointed to your case is not allowed to offer legal advice generally or specific to your case, they will simply help to work out disputes and offer solutions to general problems you might be facing. The mediator in this instance will work with the couple as a whole, as opposed to legal mediators who will work with their client on an individual basis.
Legal mediation
As previously mentioned, general mediators are unable to offer legal advice, but one of our solicitors can do just that. It can be extremely helpful to seek out legal advice before attending your mediation appointments so that you are completely ready with information that can help you out and also keep yourself protected. Legal mediators are also important once the initial mediation meetings are finalised, as only they can convert the Memorandum of Understanding into a consent order that will be sealed by the court.
High net worth divorce
We have the experience, knowledge and sensitivity required to handle cases that include a high net worth. Divorces under this label require the kind of confidentiality that our solicitors are trained to offer, as well as fast responses and more subject specific information.
