Ep 318: Divorce.
About this episode
This episode discusses divorce from a legal perspective with insights from Talbots Law.
Get in touch with Talbots Law: https://medicsmoney.co.uk/medical-solicitor/ This week's episode discusses divorce from a legal perspective with Karen and Rita from Talbots Law, outlining what to expect, why legal advice can help, and what people can do themselves under no-fault divorce. They explain timing (about six months for the divorce, often 9–12+ months for contested finances/children), ways to avoid court (negotiation, mediation, collaborative law), and court safeguards where there is domestic abuse. They cover how courts approach children and finances (needs and Section 25 factors), note child maintenance is usually handled by the Child Maintenance Service, and emphasize NHS pensions as major assets often needing a jointly instructed neutral actuary report, with pension sharing or offsetting options. They also mention disclosure of private practice income, updating wills, risks if someone dies before finalisation, avoiding new asset purchases before a clean break, and the value of communication.
