A Clean Break Order
A “clean break order” ends all financial ties in a divorce,
so neither spouse can make future financial claims against the other.
Why should I obtain a clean break order?
In the UK, the Final Order ends your marriage but doesn’t cut all financial ties. Even after divorce, either party can make financial claims, even for windfalls earned afterward. To prevent future claims, you need a court order that severs all legal ties, called a Clean Break Order.
How does a Clean Break Order work?
Dividing assets and finances in a divorce can be complicated, especially since there’s no guarantee of future claims against you. To secure your financial future and get a lasting resolution in your divorce, consider a Clean Break Order. It’s an agreement both parties accept, and it prevents any future financial claims between you. Once granted, it cuts all financial ties.

How much will it cost?
The cost of a divorce varies depending on whether there are any marital assets and if an agreement on those assets can be reached without the need for court proceedings.
What if children are involved?
Where children are involved, the best solution is for the parties to reach an amicable agreement between them on the child arrangements post divorce. If this isn’t possible, we can assist you in obtaining a Child Arrangements Order.

What will my Solicitor do on my behalf?
Essentially, your solicitor will do everything involving both the divorce and financial settlement on your behalf, including
Advising you on your legal position and the best way forward.
Drafting all legal documentation
Liaising with the court and your ex-partner or their legal representative
Finalising your divorce and financial settlement
What will I have to do?
You will need to approve the documentation before it’s sent out and provide us with instructions following our advice.
You may also need to provide us with supporting documents such as marriage certificates and financial disclosure documents, e.g., bank and mortgage statements.
What does fixed fee mean?
Fixed Fees means that we tell you your exact costs before you instruct us and detail the work we are going to do for that fixed fee. This enables you to know your costs in advance with no nasty surprises.
What's the difference between fixed fees and hourly rates?
Nearly all family law firms charge on an hourly rate structure, which means everything they do on your case, whether it’s progressing your case or not, is chargeable in 6 minute units, so with hourly rates of £200-£450 per hour, these costs can quickly become disproportionate.
