A clean break order is a type of court order that can be issued during the divorce process. The order allows you to officially sever the financial ties that exist between you and your partner, as divorce alone doesn’t necessarily do this.
For example, once you have applied for your decree absolute and you are no longer married, whilst you are both technically free to marry other people, your financial ties haven’t necessarily ended. This means your spouse could make a financial claim against you in the future, whether you’ve been divorced for 1 year or 20.
A clean break order can prevent this. The clean break order makes it clear that you have arranged your financial settlement and that you’d like to cut all financial ties. After this is issued, you can’t make any more claims against each other.
How Can Fitz Solicitors Help You?
Our solicitors in Staines can help you apply for and process the clean break order. The clean break order is useful for couples who don’t have many assets to divide, but who still want to officially end any financial responsibilities to each other. Alternatively, if you do have significant financial assets to divide, our lawyers can help you with a consent order.
It’s important to note, that a clean break order cannot be obtained if there are any ongoing financial agreements, such as maintenance orders.
