You may not want to think about it, but you now need to think about how you, and any children of the marriage will be affected by the divorce. 

Will you be able to stay in the same house? 

Will the children go to the same school? 

How will you manage financially if you cannot return to work?

We have experience with these and whole lot of other financial issues so contact us and let us advise you on how to make the best of your situation.

Financial issues are mainly dealt with on Divorce under the Family Law ( Scotland) Act 1985. The Act provides that the net value of the matrimonial property at the relevant date is to be divided between the parties. This division is made by application of what are known as the "s9 Principles". Where a spouse applies for a financial order the court can award a Capital sum, a transfer of property order, a periodical allowance, as well as a share in a pension, and/or maintenance.
