Divorce Financial Planning

Divorce Financial Planning

Divorce can bring significant financial uncertainty, particularly when decisions made during settlement negotiations may affect your income, lifestyle and long-term security for many years to come.

Concerva provides specialist financial planning support during divorce, helping individuals and their legal advisers understand the financial implications of different settlement options before agreements are finalised.

Our role is to bring clarity, evidence and long-term perspective to the decision-making process. This may include:

  1. Analysing all assets properly
    • Value pensions (including defined benefit schemes)
    • Review investments, savings, and property
    • Identify hidden or complex assets
  2. Model different settlement scenarios
    • What happens if you keep the house vs. split pensions
    • How much income you'll have in retirement
    • Whether a settlement is actually sustainable
  3. Provide pension expertise (often the most complex part of divorce)
    • Pension sharing vs offsetting decisions
    • Analysing joint expert pension reports
    • Understanding future income, not just current value
    • Working with actuaries if needed
  4. Build a post-divorce financial plan
    • Budget for a new life
    • Invest appropriately
    • Plan for retirement and future goals
  5. Working alongside family solicitors
    • Provide financial reports
    • Support negotiations with clear projections
    • Strengthen the position with evidence-based planning

When to involve Concerva?

The best time is before a financial settlement is agreed to help under understand what to ask for and hopefully prevent costly mistakes.
