Property division Solicitors
In the context of divorce or civil partnership dissolution, property division refers to the process of splitting marital assets—often including the family home—between both partners. The UK courts aim to ensure a fair division, taking into account factors such as each spouse’s financial needs, contributions, earning potential, and the welfare of any children involved. A solicitor can help clarify your entitlements, negotiate a settlement, and represent you in court if necessary.

How does property division work in a divorce?
- Identifying marital assets: Determining what property (including houses or investments) forms part of the “matrimonial pot” to be divided.
- Valuing the family home: Obtaining a professional valuation to ensure any buyout or sale reflects a fair market price.
- Negotiations and financial settlements: Attempting to reach agreement through solicitors or mediation on how to split or transfer ownership.
- Consent orders: If an agreement is reached, a solicitor can draft a consent order, which, once approved by the court, makes the arrangement legally binding.
- Court proceedings (if necessary): If the couple can’t agree, the court decides how to divide assets under the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973 or equivalent legislation.
How can a solicitor help with property division during divorce, and what does it cost?
A family law solicitor can:
- Provide legal guidance: Explaining your rights and obligations, including the court’s approach to “fair” distribution.
- Negotiate settlements: Striving for an amicable resolution without court, if possible.
- Draft consent orders: Turning any agreed division into a formal document for court approval, ensuring long-term certainty.
- Represent you in court: If settlement fails, presenting evidence and arguments to secure the best possible outcome.
Costs vary based on the complexity of your finances, whether you can settle out of court, and your solicitor’s experience. Hourly rates might range from £150–£400, but fixed-fee arrangements can be an option for uncontested divisions. An initial consultation—often free or at a reduced rate—lets you explore your options, estimate fees, and decide the best path for a fair split of marital property.
