Listen on

Episode notes

In this second episode of our new podcast series, our experts are back on the couch with advice on how to embrace life after divorce. This time, they’re tackling one of the greatest concerns for anyone going through a separation: finances.

It’s a subject that raises so many questions: what if your former partner isn’t being truthful about their finances? How do you make sure children are secure? But there’s a number of options to help you find an arrangement that works for your family, and appreciate the opportunities that come with your new financial freedom. 

Host Zahra Pabani is joined by family law partner Fran Hipperson; Irwin Mitchell’s Head of Family Law, Clare Wiseman; and Head of Chambers at 29 Bedford Row, Nicholas Allen KC. They discuss:

• The options available to help you reach a settlement
• What to do if further issues arise once an agreement has been reached
• The benefits of using a lawyer to settle your finances, and how they can support you through the process
• What the court process looks like, and why people may choose to use this route.
