Order break settlement

a financial settlement effectively is the way in which you share your assets once you've decided that you're going to separate and there's a number of ways of getting there you can either reach an agreement yourselves at home or you can be assisted for example by mediation and you can go along and get some help for a mediator or you can seek legal advice from solicitors we like to give advice on any settlements that come our way just to make sure that the parties know what they're dealing with that they've got other correct information and then we can help them draft the documents [Music] first of all before someone starts trying to reach financial settlement they need to know what's in the pot because a financial settlement effectively is how you're going to divide the pot and you can't do that unless you know what's in it so if you're doing it at home you may already know what the other person has if you go to mediation the mediator will help you explore and perhaps produce documents to see that everything's been put on the table and if you go and see a solicitor solicitors will obviously need to know what there is so that they can advise you properly about your entitlement to the assets if you're looking for an order then you need to be in court either by agreement or because you haven't been able to reach that agreement in you need the assistance of the judge there's a range of orders that the court can make obviously there's statute and there's certain things that the court can do so they can make orders relating to property and they can sell it or they can transfer it to one of the parties and they can make order for lump sums so you can get some money one person might get the money one person might get the house depending on what you what you want to do and then there's always about income disposal maintenance and lastly there's orders about pensions about sharing your pensions and there's lots of different things that the court can order and there's certainly lots of different things that you can agree as well if you have an agreement that's great because obviously it's something that you've chosen to do if you have someone look over the agreement it may be that in actual fact you can't do what you want to do you might not know how the pot should be divided or how it can be divided so solicitors will just make sure that you have all the information and all the documents that you need to enable you to reach a settlement draft in an order is quite technical the court do provide precedents to assist you if you want to do it yourself but drafting a document is quite difficult and solicitors obviously have a lot of practice and a lot of experience...
