Addressing joint account division in divorce
As part of the broader financial settlement in divorce, the Nantwich team regularly advises clients on handling joint account division. For instance, they recently aided a client whose 12-year marriage had ended. The couple managed bills through a joint account, and upon separation, both agreed it should be considered a marital asset.
The joint account division became part of the financial settlement negotiations. The team facilitated an agreement where the account funds covered final debts, with the remaining balance split evenly. With the team's assistance, the couple quickly reached a conflict-free agreement, formalised in a legally binding consent order.
Various approaches to divorce settlements
Many families in Cheshire receive assistance from the Nantwich team to settle divorces amicably. Using direct negotiations, solicitor-mediated discussions, collaborative law, arbitration, mediation, and, rarely, family court. Only 80% of Stowe's cases go to court, and because ongoing parallel negotiation continues, final hearings are infrequent.
Mediation, a highly effective form of Alternative Dispute Resolution, is widely used for divorce settlements in Nantwich. Clients unable to reach an agreement find this approach invaluable.
Avoiding court proceedings and prioritising constructive, collaborative approaches places clients and their family's best interests at the forefront of decision-making. Stowe's Nantwich team, with access to a network of experts, facilitates divorce settlements outside of court.
Dividing assets in divorce
The division of assets is a challenging aspect of reaching a financial settlement after divorce. It ranges from properties to assets like investments, pensions, vehicles, and personal items.
Identifying and valuing assets and establishing who they belong to is a priority. While some couples can agree on the division, others benefit from solicitor-led negotiations or mediation. If reaching an agreement is unrealistic, the court intervenes, aiming for a fair and equitable division based on various factors.
An experienced lawyer is crucial to guide you through the process, ensuring your rights and interests are advocated for and protected.
