Divorce in your 50s
In your 50s the financial picture usually outweighs everything else. Pensions are substantial, children are older or independent, and there is less time to recover from a poor settlement.
CalmSplit prepares the divorce application for a one-off £159 and can prepare the consent order once you have agreed the financial side.
- Pensions are often the largest asset in this age group
- Downsizing can free equity for two homes
- Get a financial order before any remarriage

See how it worksBefore you agree anything
- Request cash equivalent values for every pension
- Get the property valued and check mortgage capacity for each of you
- Model income from age 55 onwards, not just today
- Consider whether a pension sharing order or offsetting works better
Remarriage and new relationships
Remarrying can restrict certain financial claims, so settle the finances first. Cohabiting can also affect maintenance.
Where advice pays for itself
Pension sharing, defined benefit schemes and business interests justify independent legal and financial advice. We can refer you to an independent solicitor, with no fee to us.
