Going through a divorce is difficult. Going through it during menopause can be overwhelming. Our specialist family law solicitors understand how menopausal symptoms can impact your health, work, and finances, and we ensure these factors are properly considered in your divorce settlement.
The Family Court's duty is to achieve a fair financial outcome that meets the future needs of both parties. The significant impact of menopause on your health and earning capacity is a crucial factor that the court can and should consider.
Symptoms like fatigue, anxiety, and 'brain fog' can seriously affect your ability to work now and in the future. We can present this argument to the court when considering your future income needs and the division of assets.
Protect Your Future IncomeIf your ability to work has been reduced, you may have a stronger claim for ongoing spousal maintenance. We are experts in presenting the evidence needed to support such a claim.
Discuss MaintenanceA reduced earning capacity means a reduced ability to save for retirement. This can justify a greater share of the marital assets, especially the pensions, to ensure your long-term financial security.
Secure Your Pension
We understand that the challenges you are facing are real and can be debilitating. Our approach is to listen with compassion and then act with strategic precision, ensuring your personal circumstances are properly evidenced and powerfully presented to the court.
Very seriously. The court has a duty to consider all the circumstances of the case, including the health of both parties. If medical evidence shows that menopausal symptoms are impacting your ability to work or your future health needs, this will be a significant factor in the financial settlement.
A letter or report from your GP or a menopause specialist is crucial. We can help you instruct an expert to prepare a report specifically for the court proceedings. A personal witness statement detailing how your symptoms affect your daily life and work is also vital.
Potentially, yes. If you can show that your symptoms have reduced your earning capacity or will prevent you from returning to full-time work, you may have a stronger claim for spousal maintenance, either for a longer term or for a higher amount, to ensure your future needs are met.
Don't let your health circumstances be overlooked in your divorce. Contact our understanding and expert family solicitors for a confidential consultation about your situation.
