“I feel like everyone is judging me.”

For parents going through family proceedings, that feeling can be incredibly difficult.
When social workers, local authorities or other professionals become involved, it's completely natural to worry about what they're thinking and whether you're being judged.

But your solicitor should not be another person you feel you have to defend yourself to.

At HRS, we're not here to judge you.
We're here to understand what's happening, explain your options clearly and give you the advice and support you need to move forward.

Whatever has happened, whatever you may regret, and whatever you're worried might be said about you, you deserve proper legal advice without judgement.

💬 Have you ever felt judged by professionals involved in your family situation? We'd love to hear your experience.

Or if you need support with a family law matter, contact us for advice.

What happens to the family home when you get divorced? 🏡

For many couples, the family home is one of the biggest and most emotional parts of a divorce.

There is a starting point of equal division, but that doesn't mean the house is simply sold and the money split 50/50.

The court can consider whether the property should be sold, transferred into one person's name or retained by one party, depending on the circumstances.
And one of the biggest factors will be the housing needs of both parties, particularly where there are children under 18.

Sometimes there simply isn't enough money to rehouse everyone separately, and difficult decisions have to be made.

If you're worried about what could happen to your family home during divorce, it's important to understand your options before making any decisions.

Can your ex get a share of your business in a divorce? 💼⚖️

Potentially, yes but that doesn't automatically mean the business has to be sold.
The court can look at the value of the business alongside other assets such as the family home and savings, as well as the income the business provides.

If selling the business would remove an important income stream, the court may consider whether there are other ways to achieve a fair financial settlement.
That could potentially include a transfer of shares with compensation being paid from other assets.

If you're a business owner going through divorce, or your spouse owns a business, don't assume the answer is simply “sell it and split it.”

There can be different ways of approaching the financial settlement.

Does the higher earner automatically have to pay maintenance after divorce?
Not necessarily.

The court can make a maintenance order, sometimes known as spousal maintenance or alimony, but these orders are becoming less common.

Where there is a significant difference in income, the court will look at both parties' income and outgoings, prepare budgets and consider whether there is a genuine need for one party to receive financial support from the other.

Importantly, maintenance isn't simply divided 50/50. Maintenance claims are generally considered on the basis of need and fairness.

Every situation is different, so if you're facing a significant income difference following separation, it's important to understand your options.

Think you can hide assets during a divorce? Think again. 👀

When financial disclosure is provided during divorce proceedings, the other side's solicitor can examine the information and raise questions about anything that doesn't add up.

If there are discrepancies, the court can require those questions to be answered.

And if someone refuses to provide satisfactory answers or appears to have deliberately concealed assets, it can seriously damage their credibility and their case.

Financial disclosure isn't something to take lightly.

If you're going through a divorce financial settlement, it's important to be open and honest about your finances and get proper legal advice.

Thinking about divorce but your partner doesn't know yet? Don't start moving your money. ⚠️

It can be tempting to transfer money, move property or try to protect your finances before telling your spouse you're considering divorce.

But this can create serious problems later.

During financial proceedings, the court has wide powers to investigate transactions and potentially undo steps that have been taken. Trying to hide or move assets can also affect your credibility.

If you're considering divorce and you're worried about your financial position, don't make major financial decisions in panic. Get advice first.

Divorce can become incredibly expensive… and anger can be part of the reason why.
When emotions take over, it can be easy to lose sight of what you're actually trying to achieve.

More arguments. More correspondence. More delays. More legal fees.
And ultimately, more stress for everyone involved especially if you have children.
Divorce and financial proceedings are difficult, but approaching them as a business decision rather than a battle can help you stay focused on the outcome you need.
The goal isn't to win every argument.

It's to get from A to B as fairly, efficiently and sensibly as possible.

Think a prenup means your future ex gets NOTHING? Think again. ⚠️
One of the biggest misconceptions about prenuptial agreements is that you can simply agree that one person keeps everything and the other walks away with nothing.

That's not how it works.

A valid prenup can influence how finances are dealt with during a divorce and may mean one party receives less than they otherwise might have done.

But the court will still be concerned with achieving a fair outcome and meeting the basic needs of the financially weaker party.

So if you're getting married and considering a prenup, it's important to understand what a prenup can and can't achieve.

💬 Did you think a prenup could completely exclude someone from receiving anything?

Not married? You could walk away with nothing from the family home. 🏡⚠️
This is something unmarried couples often don't realise.

If you're married and divorce, the court has much wider powers to look at the family's finances and make adjustments to achieve a fair outcome.

But for unmarried couples, property disputes can be very different.
Property ownership is generally dealt with under strict property law, and the court doesn't have the same powers it has in divorce proceedings.

That can mean one person potentially walking away with very little or even nothing if they can't establish a legal interest in a property owned by their partner.
So if you're buying a home with a partner and you're not married, don't assume that living together or contributing to the household automatically gives you an interest in the property.

💬 If you're unmarried and your partner owns the house, would you assume you were entitled to a share?
