The intention here is to spark some debate amongst practitioners, discuss topical issues and lend support to each other from a technical perspective. Maybe also to raise some more contentious issues surrounding the Financial and Legal worlds and how they interrelate - or don't!

I am interested in developing the way in which sound financial planning is used accross all forms of divorce and to explore the best ways for Financial Planners to work with Lawyers to help their clients

It should be stressed that the views expressed by me on this blog do not constitute financial or legal advice and are personal.

That is always assuming that you have secured jurisdiction first, so that you can proceed. The post Rome III debate rages on, with the Centre for Social Justice weighing in with this excellent report:
