Financial Settlement After Divorce Time Limit UK

It is understandable to assume there are financial settlement time limits to bring a financial claim because there are time limits to start civil proceedings. However, technically there are no time limits; you can get married and divorced in your twenties and then (provided you have not remarried in the meantime) start financial settlement proceedings when you are in your sixties.
Delay isn’t something that we recommend unless there are special circumstances. That’s because in the absence of a clean break financial court order, you both have the threat of court proceedings being started against you at a time in your life that may not suit you.
A clean break financial order is one that includes provisions dismissing all future claims against each.
If you are interested in making a late divorce financial settlement application, are responding to an application or want advice on how to get a clean break financial court order to prevent future financial claims, our specialist family law solicitors can help.
