Break-up Club: Understanding and preparing your finances in divorce

One of the main practical challenges people face in divorce is what to do with your finances. Dividing up the family home, your accounts, the car, or even your sofa, can be complicated, stressful and sometimes emotional too.

In our last Break-up Club of 2025, we’ll be exploring:

· Taking those first steps in your financial divorce journey

· How to prepare for financial negotiations

· What the process will look like

· Navigating your emotions

The webinar will be hosted by Stowe Family Law Partner Shivi Rajput, joined by award-winning Financial Planner and Resolution accredited divorce specialist Lottie Kent, and Break-up and Divorce Coach Claire Macklin.

The panellists will answer your live questions at the end of the session. Please note, the experts cannot give legal or financial advice. This is for information only.
