Financial disclosure - don't be tempted to skip it!

Posted by Rory Miln on Sunday, November 14, 2010, In : definitions 
Before beginning to negotiate a financial settlement on divorce, it is essential to exchange full financial information and documents with your husband / wife.  This is normally done by your respective solicitors putting all the papers in the post simultaneously on the same day.

"But I know everything about my husband's / wife's financial situation"  Well, possibly, but there may be things that you didn't know about.  I frequently come across cases where something genuinely unexpected emerges ...

Pension attachment has largely fallen out of favour because in most situations the receiving spouse gains greater financial security by means of a pension sharing order.  With pension attachment, the income payments come to an immediate end if the receiving spouse remarries or if the paying spouse dies.  With pension sharing, once the order has come into effect it makes no difference if the receiving spouse remarries or the paying spouse dies - the pension share cannot be undone or reversed. ...

Principal Every week, usually on a Monday, I post my movements for the coming week - when I'm in the office and when I'm out, for example at court. At the same time I post a short article on a word or expression that may crop up during a separation or divorce case. Sometimes I comment on a topical legal issue. I'm always glad of feedback - any comments on my blog entries are welcome - just send me an email.
