Maintenance payments
We help you understand child and spousal maintenance law.
A common question our specialist divorce solicitors are asked is “Will I receive maintenance after divorce?” This can be a very worrying issue when splitting up with your partner.
Maintenance payments can be divided into two areas:
- maintenance for financial support for the children, and
- maintenance for the spouse (husband/wife)
Whether you receive maintenance after divorce or have to pay it, will depend on the overall circumstances of your case. As well as a comparison of incomes we will also look at things like capital and savings as well the actual needs, or the future earning potential.

Pensions in divorce
Helping you understand divorce pension rights.
The arrangements and issues surrounding pensions in divorce are naturally complex. You should not have to worry about how you’ll manage financially in retirement. This applies whether you’ve been bringing up children, building a career, or both. So how do you settle on a fair split of pensions in divorce?
Divorce pension rights can be extremely complex. As your pension may be the most valuable asset in your marriage, you’ll need to consider the split carefully.
We work closely with pension actuaries to carefully analyse each element of the ‘pension pot’ to make sure it is correctly valued. This will give you more confidence to plan your future independently. Contact us today to understand how we can help you secure your pension.
