Divorce - managing your finances
Managing money may be only one of the many things on your client's mind during a divorce, but it’s an important step in moving forward. Financial advice for divorce can help your client organise their finances, make the most of their assets and gain clarity and confidence.
Getting finances on track

I had so much to think about during the divorce, but my Canaccord Wealth adviser was incredibly supportive. I trust him completely and know he’s doing his best for me.
How we helped Helen rebuild her life after divorce
Helen Stanway was about halfway through a stressful divorce when we met her. She was 50 and anxious to ensure her financial stability after the split. She has two children, twins Rosie and Ben, who are very supportive but were then away at university.
Common questions on managing divorce
A Wealth Planner can help you understand your new financial situation together. They’ll take an in-depth look at your marital and wider assets and discuss how you’d like to move forward after divorce. We’ll also consider the needs of any children. This allows us to advise you on how much income you may need and how you could maximise your finances for the long term.
Divorce can be overwhelming, with plenty of decisions needing to be made. Getting expert financial advice can help you feel more confident and in control, and help you protect your wealth.
Understandably, your legal and financial needs are likely to overlap. So, during the divorce process, your Wealth Planner can work closely with your lawyers to make sure your financial interests are fully protected.
For example, we can help value and divide complex assets like pensions, investments, and business interests. With more clarity on your finances, you may find you’re more able to negotiate for a fair settlement too.
