There is no set time limit for financial settlement after divorce in the UK, but it is highly recommended to complete it with a legally binding consent order. Without a legally binding consent order, financial claims could be made long after the divorce, including on assets you acquire in the future, like savings or pensions.
In this guide, we'll explain the process, why timing matters, and how to make your financial settlement legally binding.

Child custody, now legally referred to as child arrangements in the UK, is one of the most sensitive issues parents face. When parents separate, questions often arise about where a child should live and how much time they should spend with each parent.
While the term full custody is commonly used, UK law focuses on who the child "lives with" and the arrangements for contact with the other parent. Understanding the grounds for full custody in the UK can help parents navigate these challenging situations.
