Obtaining a Divorce dissolves the marriage it does not sever your financial ties. Therefore it is recommended that you protect your current and future finances from your ex-spouse following a Divorce.

You can remove the possibility of any future financial claims or commitments by obtaining a Financial Consent Order prior to completing the Divorce process.

Without a Financial Consent Order if your financial circumstances change, whether it's an inheritance, a pay rise or an increase in the value of your home your ex-partner could make a claim against you for capital or maintenance.
