Just over 1,000 online divorce applications were lodged in\nthe first week of lockdown. Figures from\nHer Majesty\u2019s Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) saw 1,001 web petitions\nfiled between March 23rd and March 31st alone. With statistics for the rest of\nlockdown not yet available, it is feared that there will be a huge surge in couples\ndeciding to separate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Going through a separation or divorce is a difficult and\ndaunting time and it can feel overwhelming with everything that has to be considered. It is vitally important to think about how\nthe breakdown of a relationship affects any assets, estate and, most\nimportantly, any children. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There will be areas that need dealing with immediately to\nmaintain stability such as bills and mortgage payments. However, once these are\ntaken care of, it is time to look longer-term and seek advice from a\nprofessional Independent Financial Adviser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
