woman googling how do I get a divorce By Rachel Efetha, Chartered Financial Planning with Anstee & Co.

Happy New Year!  Not so happy for some…  January is traditionally the month I write about divorce, given that Google is reporting a 230% increase on last month on ‘ how do I get a divorce ’.  Obviously, it’s important for divorcing couples to get a good family lawyer in place, but also important is to take independent financial advice.

So, what are the key areas to consider?

Pensions

Pensions are often the biggest marital asset outside the home, in some cases bigger than the home!  There are very complex rules surrounding pensions which need to be looked at carefully by an expert.

Mortgages

We can help with your existing mortgage. A mortgage capacity report is a detailed investigation into the level of mortgage you are likely to obtain. It will advise on the amount of mortgage you can afford to maintain after your proposed settlement. It is produced for the Court to help the Judge decide on finances. Each mortgage capacity assessment is different to reflect your circumstances. It will also help you make accurate financial plans.

Financial planning

We can help with financial planning advice regarding budgeting and protecting maintenance payments, which is essential.
