    Why should I open up a case for a Contested Financial Order?

    Divorcing couples cannot always find an immediate common ground for the terms of their separation. This is entirely normal and should not lead to additional stress.

    One of the most common causes of dispute in a divorce is the financial terms of the separation. Dividing up the assets and finances of a single household in a fair and acceptable manner for both parties can create natural tensions.

    In these situations, you may wish to open up a case for a Contested Financial Order.

    What is the purpose of a Contested Financial Order?

    A Contested Financial Order case can help to smooth over the cracks of a difficult divorce or a contested division of assets. The process can take time: family finances are among the most complex facets of a separation; discovering a satisfactory resolution for all parties – without acrimony or loss of entitlements – requires time, tact, and diplomacy.

    Perduco Law is your expert advisor on legal rights and entitlements, your defender against unfair claims, and your moral support during a contested divorce. Our fixed fee pricing structure allows you to remain in discussions for as long as it takes to secure your rightful, legal hold over your property.

    Questions about our Divorce Services

    How long does a divorce take

    There are two elements to a divorce; there is the divorce itself and the financial settlement, which are both separate processes. The divorce process takes a minimum of 26 weeks.

    How do I reach a Financial Settlement in Divorce

    Essentially, there are four ways to reach a financial settlement in a divorce. These are:

    Financial Consent Order (No Assets, No Financial Disclosure)

    Financial Consent Order (Assets, No Financial Disclosure)

    Financial Consent Order (Assets, Full Financial Disclosure)

    Financial Court Proceedings

    Click on any of the links above for more details.

    How much will it cost?

    The cost of a divorce varies depending on whether there are any marital assets and if an agreement on those assets can be reached without the need for court proceedings.

    All of Perduco’s fixed fees for each set of circumstances are listed here.

    What if children are involved?

    Where children are involved, the best solution is for the parties to reach an amicable agreement between them on the child arrangements post divorce. If this isn’t possible, we can assist you in obtaining a Child Arrangements Order.

    Read more about child arrangement orders.

    What if there is domestic violence in the marriage?

    Where there is domestic abuse/violence in the marriage, there is a range of protective orders we can obtain for you in the family court, including:

    Non Molestation Orders

    Occupation Orders

    Click on either of the above links for more details.

    What will my Solicitor do on my behalf?

    Essentially, your solicitor will do everything involving both the divorce and financial settlement on your behalf, including

    Advising you on your legal position and the best way forward. 
    Drafting all legal documentation
    Liaising with the court and your ex-partner or their legal representative
    Finalising your divorce and financial settlement

    What will I have to do?

    You will need to approve the documentation before it’s sent out and provide us with instructions following our advice. 

    You may also need to provide us with supporting documents such as marriage certificates and financial disclosure documents, e.g., bank and mortgage statements.

    What does fixed fee mean?

    Fixed Fees means that we tell you your exact costs before you instruct us and detail the work we are going to do for that fixed fee. This enables you to know your costs in advance with no nasty surprises.

    What's the difference between fixed fees and hourly rates?

    Nearly all family law firms charge on an hourly rate structure, which means everything they do on your case, whether it’s progressing your case or not, is chargeable in 6 minute units, so with hourly rates of £200-£450 per hour, these costs can quickly become disproportionate.
