How do I deal with finances on divorce?
When two people split, it can be an emotional time. Many different feelings are experienced and there may even be children and other family matters with which to deal.

All this is going on when practical issues must be addressed. Your legal advisers will want to know details of the savings and investments you both owned along with pension entitlements and the house ownership aspects of your relationship.

Clearly, your legal adviser will probably have spoken with you about these and other matters, but consider the following questions:

  • Who owns the house?
  • Who pays the mortgage?
  • Who owns the savings and investments?
  • Who owns the pension entitlements?
  • Who pays the school fees?
  • Do you know your rights in respect of pension entitlements?
  • How will any maintenance continue on the death of the payer?
  • If you are moving out of the marital home, do you have a home to go to and will you need a mortgage?
