Financial Links - The Issues
  3

Over the period of your relationship and your marriage, you and your spouse may have accumulated capital wealth, property and pensions. Also both of you are likely to have income resources. As you are separating then all of these resources need to be shared out fairly. When the legal system deals with these links it looks at the present and to the future, rather than to the past. The object of the exercise is to try and do right by your children to give them personal and financial security, and meet their practical needs, and be fair to both of you without any recriminations or findings of fault. The purpose of the exercise is to build the foundations of a financial future for all of you.
