Inheritance and Divorce?

Mary Lowe at Vincents Solicitors is our High Net Worth Divorce specialist team based in Lytham.

Do I have to share inheritance and wealth I had if I get divorced?

Mary will explain to you that the court takes into account all the factors under Section 25 of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973 when considering what a fair and reasonable division of assets would be. One of the factors taken into consideration is whether one party or the other has made financial contributions, including those accrued pre marriage. However, the first consideration is to the welfare of the children of the family.

The court also considers the age of all parties, their health, their needs, their income and earning capacity, as well as the length of marriage, when deciding what is a fair settlement.

Frequently asked questions

Mary is also very alive to the fact you will be worried about how much your divorce and financial matter will cost you and she will discuss costs with you at every interview and will provide costs estimates throughout your case. Our accounts team will provide you with a detailed invoice each month Mary’s fees are £300 plus vat per hour and she is assisted by Chloe Santoni, and also a Sean Aldridge a Specialist in Trust and Estate Planning who is charged at £250 per hour plus vat. Mary and Chloe are assisted by very experienced Legal Secretary, Alexandra Tavoni.

Mary will discuss with you whether you are required to pay spousal maintenance and if so at what rate and for how long or whether a clean break can be achieved in relation to both capital, income, property and pensions.

If you and your spouse have agreed all of your financial matters by consent then the costs are considerably reduced and once you have exchanged financial information, a draft consent order is prepared and approved and signed by both parties and their solicitors and it is then submitted to the Court for the Judge to approve accompanied by a D81 Form and the court fee.

The new No Fault Divorce Procedure takes 20 weeks from the date you issue your petition on the court portal to the granting of a Conditional Order (replacing the old style Decree Nisi). Thereafter you can apply for a Final Order no less than 6 weeks after and the Court can then make a Final Order (replacing the old style Decree Absolute).
