What does a financial settlement after separation cover?

Usually maintenance, the division of assets, the family home, financial obligations and support for the children.

Is a financial settlement legally binding?

It is strongest when properly drafted and approved by the competent court, which makes it easier to enforce.

Can we settle without going to court?

You can negotiate and agree out of court, then have the agreement formalised so it can be enforced.

What if the other party does not comply?

If the settlement has been approved, enforcement proceedings can be brought before the competent court.

Can the settlement be changed later?

Some terms, such as child maintenance, can be varied if circumstances change; the division of assets is usually final.
