Home / FAQ / Divorce FAQ / How will our assets be split?
Generally, the starting point for splitting assets is to achieve equality – this doesn’t always mean a straight 50/50 split of everything!
Each case will be different and your arrangements will depend on factors such as if you were married or in a civil partnership, how long you were together, how complicated your financial situation is, and whether both parties agree to a financial settlement. In cases where both parties agree to a financial settlement, the assets can be split according to the agreement, 80/20, 70/30 or another split. However, if it is not possible to come to an agreement, we can advise you and try to help negotiate to reach an amicable financial agreement. If negotiation or mediation is not successful or your finances are very complicated, then a financial settlement can be reached through Court.
