Divorce
proceedings can include Court Orders concerned with children, financial and property
matters.
If both parties can agree on all relevant issues, then a judge may be asked
to make orders without anybody having to attend Court. If these matters have
not been agreed, then the judge will make an order after hearing what both parties
and lawyers have to say.
A solicitor will advise on how much maintenance you may be entitled to, or
have to pay, and on matters such as sharing pension benefits etc.
