"I recently contacted Njp solicitors and spoke with a lovely lady called Natalie. I needed to try and sort my divorce and mortgage with my ex partner. I'd had the feeling of being "lost and confused" for a while and didn't really know how to start the ball rolling. I was a little nervous, but Natalie made me feel at ease. She answered all my questions in a professional manner but in a way that I could fully understand. She also gave me lots of very useful information, so I felt I could start the ball rolling and realised it wasn't as daunting as I first thought. There was absolutely no pressure from her, just guidance. I would 100% recommend Natalie!!!!"

Post-Divorce Financial Claims FAQs
Yes, unless you have a legally binding financial settlement in place (clean break consent order), your ex-spouse may still be able to make a claim against your assets, even years after the divorce. To prevent future claims, you should obtain a Clean Break Order, which legally ends any financial ties between you and your ex. The best time to do this is ideally during the divorce.
A Clean Break Order is a legal document that confirms both parties have no further financial claims against each other after a divorce. Without it, your ex-spouse could claim a share of your future income, inheritance, or assets. If you want full financial independence, getting a Clean Break Order is essential.
Yes. Verbal agreements or informal written agreements are not legally binding. Without a court-approved financial settlement, your ex-spouse could apply for a share of your assets, even years after the divorce. The safest option is to get a Consent Order, which legally records your agreement. You can obtain an order via Solicitors, your don’t have to attend court to obtain an Order.
There is no time limit for making financial claims after a divorce unless a Clean Break Order has been obtained. This means your ex could try to claim a share of your wealth even decades later. The only exception is if they remarry, in which case they lose the right to claim (they do have other routes they can use though).
Yes, if you did not agree to a financial settlement at the time of the divorce, you may be able to make a financial claim, particularly if your circumstances have changed. For example, if you sacrificed your career to raise children, you might still be entitled to spousal maintenance.
If your ex-spouse does not comply with a court-ordered (whether agreed or via the courts) financial settlement, you can take legal action to enforce it. The court can order wage deductions, asset seizures, or even penalties for non-compliance. Seeking legal advice early can help you understand your rights.
Yes, it can include child maintenance. However, maintenance is a separate legal obligation and must still be paid according to government guidelines or a private agreement.
If you do not have a Clean Break Order, your ex-spouse may be able to claim a portion of your inheritance, even after your divorce. To protect your assets, it’s essential to legally finalise financial matters with a financial settlement and consent order.
The best way to prevent future claims is to get a Clean Break Order or a Consent Order as part of your divorce process. These legally confirm that neither party can make future financial claims, giving you financial security and peace of mind.
