Enforcement of Financial Orders
Drafting Orders for a financial settlement is a complex and intricate task so it’s essential you have expert legal advice in order to pre-empt any possible scenarios that could lead to non-compliance and ongoing litigation.
However, there may be occasions when your spouse/former spouse simply refuses to comply with an Order – perhaps they won’t pay a sum of money or sell or transfer a property.
If that happens then steps can be taken to enforce the Order and there are several enforcement options available such as a Charging Order over property or an Attachment of Earnings Order if periodical payments are not being paid.
If this happens – or has happened to you – then get in touch with us today and we will be able to advise and guide you through the process of getting the terms of the Financial Order enforced.
I’m not ready to consider divorce, can I get financial support throughout a separation?
If you are in the position where you and your partner have agreed financial matters but do not wish to divorce, a Separation Agreement will record your intentions at the time of your separation.
It’s important to note that this is not a legally binding document within the Judicial system, but it can add weight to any future divorce proceedings so long as you prove that both parties had independent legal advice and were honest in disclosing their financial circumstances prior to the Separation Agreement bring drawn up.
