A legal guide to life after divorce

Views over Lowestoft

If you have recently divorced, you may be wondering what happens next. Going through the divorce process can be challenging, and there may still be legal matters left unresolved.

Enforcing your financial consent order

Your financial consent order sets out how assets and finances will be divided. This may include transferring property, selling property, or maintenance payments.

Update your will

Your existing will is still valid but divorce treats your former spouse as if they predeceased you. It is essential to make a new will.

Change your Power of Attorney

Divorce terminates your spouse's appointment as attorney. If you haven't appointed another, you're left without one.
