Matrimonial Property, Family Home, Business Assets & Financial Settlement

When the division or equalisation of assets following a relationship breakdown, including the home, a business, debts and matrimonial property agreements directly affects your everyday life, financial position or relationship with your children, prompt legal clarity is essential. You receive an approach that brings together facts, evidence, procedure, protection and practical implementation, with the aim of achieving a verifiable financial settlement that clearly identifies value, ownership and liabilities.

Legal-strategic perspective

Matrimonial Property, Family Home, Business Assets & Financial Settlement addresses the division or equalisation of assets following a relationship breakdown, including the home, a business, debts and matrimonial property agreements. The legal assessment begins with your particular circumstances and the question of which rights, obligations and protected interests must be established immediately. Community of property and limited community of property, Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements and equalisation clauses and Matrimonial home and transfer or sale are important points of reference, but their significance always depends on the actual family circumstances, the documents available, the financial information and the position of any children. Van Leeuwen Law Firm organises the facts, distinguishes interim protection from a final settlement and ensures that procedural choices reflect what is practically achievable.
