“Many receive advice, only the wise profit from it” Harper Lee

Going through a divorce is a painful and emotionally draining process. There will be hurt, anger, sadness and many other emotions bubbling to the surface. Along with the ending of your relationship, you will also need to take on the task of dividing up your assets. This is an experience that many couples dread, as it can be a long and complicated ordeal that causes stress on both sides.

There are a number of things to consider in this process. Who will get the family home? Will one partner buy the other out or will you sell it and split the proceeds? Who will have the right to any second properties or commercial properties? How will you deal with any joint bank accounts that you have? What about your investments, how will they be divided? How will your pension be divided up after the divorce or dissolution? There are many answers to these questions and those answers will depend on your unique situation and the agreement between you and your ex-spouse. It is important that these questions are answered in a clear and concise manner, because ambiguity can leave the door open for conflict in the future.
