Where Will You Land?
Where will you live once your separation is complete? Will you have to sell the family home? Can you afford to maintain the family home?

We will provide you with the answers to all of your questions and provide you with a basic understanding as to how your financial landscape will look after you separate. The role of your family lawyer is to eliminate anxiety and allow you to create a reasoned plan for a secure financial future.
