Could divorce or remarriage affect my plans?

Count on us for valuable insights and guidance to help you skilfully navigate these complex financial changes.

Untangle your finances

Support when you need it

Divorce can have a profound impact, affecting not only your emotional wellbeing but also your financial stability. Even if you think you’ve got all your ducks in a row, divorce can shake things up.

Changes in your marital status can have significant implications for your financial situation, including taxation, asset division and estate planning. If you’re a business owner, it’s not only your personal finances you need to consider, as they may also be entitled to a share of the company. We can help you understand your options and make informed decisions.

How we help you…

Assessing your position

A common question is “will I have enough money in the future?”. It’s not one that we can answer on the spot, so we use cashflow modelling to visualise what your life could look like based on different ‘what-if?’ scenarios. Doing this will help you make the best choices and is a powerful tool for divorcees during this uncertain period.

Generational wealth

The impact of divorce on generational wealth can be significant. Add a second marriage to the mix and there can be varying family dynamics to deal with. You’ll want to update your estate plan to ensure that your assets go to the intended beneficiaries. This includes revising your will and potentially creating a trust.

Evaluating your goals

Big changes make you re-evaluate your life and look at things differently. New goals may include increasing your savings, selling your business, buying a home, supporting children or planning for a second marriage. Adjusting your financial plans to align with these new objectives is crucial.

Please note that the Financial Conduct Authority does not regulate tax planning, will writing and trusts.

Nigel has been very helpful by setting up meetings with me and my family during which he was able to explain the financial implications of my future plans. He has acquainted himself with my financial investments, and advised me on matters relating to investments, capital and income. I am confident in Nigel's knowledge and abilities to reach the required outcome in due course.

My pensions were all over the place. I also needed a will. Nigel organised my pensions so they were all in one place and he organised my will. I would consider recommending Nigel to anyone who expressed a need to speak to an adviser.

My husband and I were seeking to invest a lump sum for the future and to provide a pension, alongside other investment opportunities. Nigel diligently gathered information from us regarding our aims and goals for the future and our attitude to risk. This has enabled him to advise accordingly on portfolios to match our needs and comfort levels. We are confident that with Nigel's able assistance, we will reap the rewards in due course.
