In this episode we unpack how assets are divided on separation: the family home, pensions, savings and investments, businesses, vehicles, and debts—as well as ongoing support like maintenance. We outline the key factors courts weigh, including children’s needs, each person’s income and future earning capacity, available resources, housing needs, ages, health, standard of living, length of the relationship, and contributions. We also flag complications to watch for: missing disclosure, hard-to-value pensions or businesses, pre/post-nups, overseas assets, tax timing, and enforcement issues. You’ll leave with practical pointers on getting organised, seeking early advice, and aiming for fair, workable agreements.
