Divorce can be stressful.  Worrying about what will happen to your finances after divorce can make it even harder.  If you and your ex-partner cannot agree, going to court will help finalise any joint liabilities and help you transition to separate individuals in charge of your finances.  This can be a worrying time if you’re unsure how to prepare to represent yourself in court.  That’s where this course will really help.  After you’ve taken the course, you’ll feel prepared and more confident about the whole process.  

Preparing Your Financial Remedy Case  

To represent yourself effectively in court and increase the chances of getting the desired outcome, you must present your case properly and familiarise yourself with what happens during financial hearings.  The course will explain the various documents involved and how to prepare them.  You’ll see examples of different documents and we’ll go through them in detail.

Courses

We have produced a series of courses covering every aspect of dealing with a Financial Case.  Taking our fictional character, someone just like you, that is thinking about settling his case on the basis of an agreement with his ex, unaware of what will happen if he goes to court and therefore about to make a big mistake.  It is when he realises that the court will treat him far better than his exes misplaced view of how she deserves everything that he makes an application, and starts the financial process.

The courts procedure for financial hearings is to have three hearings.  The first is all about establishing how much money the marriage ‘owns’.  The court can only advise on how to distribute the money when you know what assets you have and how they can be shared fairly.  The court has a series of legal approaches which must be followed and are followed, but to the opposite of urban myths and the barrack room lawyers approach.

The second hearing will consider the best way to share the assets and the Judge will go to great lengths to discuss how they feel a fair outcome looks and encourage you both to consider your positions and to reach an agreement.  The majority of people at this stage will agree.

If no agreement can be reached a final hearing will follow.  That is the only real part of the process where you will slug it out in court and make every argument that you can in order to show the Judge why your approach is the best outcome. 

Our course is broken down into three separate courses, with an average of 4 or 5 modules in each.  You can purchase a module individually or purchase a course for a discounted price.

Coaching

Financial Services Simon Walland Family Law

If you feel that you want to manage your own case, but would like a ‘Guardian Angel’ looking over your shoulder then coaching is for you.

We will have a consultation and look at your case and discuss possible outcomes based on where you are.  We will look at different strategies to get you through the process and how to dea with each step.  You will do the donkey work and I will oversee what you provide.  I will ensure that you keep on track, keep focused and keep within the courts rules.  You will have deadlines to follow and if at any time you feel out of your depth we will discuss it, and if you prefer I will take over.  It is a fool proof system that keeps you in charge of what is happening.

Guides

We have a range of pdf download guides which will describe each step of the court process and explain what you need to do to manage the steps.  These inexpensive guides may be all you need to get through your case, helping you to represent yourself as cheaply as possible.  If you need further help you can use any of our other services.
