What happens if I don’t reach a divorce financial settlement?

You don’t necessarily have to reach an agreement when going through this process, however, if you don’t then this means your spouse/ partner could try and make a financial claim against you in the future. Our team will always try and help you reach an agreement, meaning that you have a Consent Order in place, even if you don’t share assets like pensions or savings.
