Debt division in the event of divorce
Debt management as part of a divorce settlement is a common issue handled by our Chester divorce attorneys. Debt, regardless of size or ownership, can easily become a contentious issue in a divorce financial settlement.
One such case involved a couple who owned marital assets both individually and jointly. They also shared responsibility for some long-term debt incurred during their marriage.
The team assisted our client in obtaining an accurate financial picture and confirming that both parties were liable.
After establishing these key details, discussions were held to determine how the debt would be cleared and to identify a fair financial settlement that was mutually agreeable under the circumstances.
Securing freezing orders for clients
When clients are concerned that their ex-partner is hiding or preparing to dispose of financial assets, they can apply to the family courts for a freezing order, also known as freezing injunction.
Our Chester team has assisted clients in Cheshire in gathering the necessary documentation to demonstrate asset risk and successfully obtaining freezing orders to protect assets.
The freezing order issued by the family court legally prevents the other party from selling, hiding, or transferring assets before a specific time, which is usually when the divorce financial settlement is reached.
Divorce Mediation
Through divorce mediation, the Chester team assists many couples in the North West in reaching amicable divorce settlements.
This out-of-court divorce approach helps couples reach agreements on the terms of their divorce, such as child custody arrangements, interim financial arrangements, marital asset division, coparenting, and other practical aspects of divorce.
Divorce lawyers at Stowe advise clients during mediation before converting the agreements reached into a legally binding document.
A number of Stowe's divorce lawyers are trained mediators, and we also have access to a nationwide network of professional mediators who can help you in this area.
