We help you reach a fair outcome — and make it legally binding. Property, pensions, savings, debts, maintenance, business interests, and overseas assets. You don’t need to know which legal route applies. We’ll help you identify the right next step.
The Final Order ends the marriage — but it does not automatically resolve finances. Without a court-approved financial order, either party can make a financial claim against the other in the future, even years later.
We strongly recommend dealing with finances before or alongside the divorce — not after. The right order protects both parties and provides a genuine clean break.

Final costs depend on complexity and number of hearings.Yes — without one, either spouse can make a financial claim against the other in the future, even after the divorce is finalised. A Consent Order is the only way to make a financial agreement legally binding and achieve a true clean break.
After the Conditional Order has been granted in your divorce. We can prepare and draft the Consent Order in parallel so it’s ready to submit as soon as the court will accept it.
A type of Consent Order which dismisses all financial claims between spouses — income, capital, property and pension — so neither can pursue the other for money in the future. Suitable where there are no ongoing financial ties.
Form E is the standard financial disclosure document used in court proceedings. It requires full disclosure of income, assets, liabilities, pensions, and outgoings — supported by documentary evidence.
The court can compel disclosure through a financial remedy application. Failure to disclose can result in costs orders, adverse inferences, and the agreement being set aside later. We’ll advise on the right route to obtain the information you need.
Through pension sharing (a clean split into a separate pension), pension offsetting (one spouse keeps the pension, the other receives an equivalent share of other assets), or pension attachment orders. We instruct pension actuaries where appropriate.
A solicitor-led negotiation where both parties and their solicitors meet (in person or remotely) to work through outstanding financial issues. Often a faster, cheaper alternative to litigation when agreement is within reach.
Spousal maintenance may be appropriate where one party cannot meet their reasonable needs from their own income. Amount and duration depend on circumstances. Child maintenance is usually handled separately via the Child Maintenance Service.
A Strategy Session with SKB Law is a focused, solicitor-led meeting. You’ll leave with a clear picture of where you stand, your options, and a written action plan.
