Spooky Legal Rulings: Revealing the haunting types of court orders

In this spine-tingling article, we will delve into the mysterious world of divorce and the mind-boggling court orders that may be issued. We will explain the ghoulish aspects of property division, spousal maintenance,  child support, and other financial aspects of divorce. Do not let your divorce become a horror story – read on to arm yourself with knowledge and face your financial fears head-on.

On a more serious note, it is important to remember that both you and your spouse have an absolute duty to each other and to the court. You both must fully disclose your financial position so that a proper financial arrangement can be made. 

What types of Orders can the Court make?

In divorce proceedings, understanding the various types of court orders is essential. If you are navigating the complexities of family law, comprehending the different types of orders that courts can issue is fundamental.

Here are some of the most frequent court orders during divorce proceedings:

  • Property Order – this can include the sale of a property, a transfer of a property from one party to another, a settlement of property for the use and benefit of one party until a specified event or future date, a deferred charge to be realised on a specified event or future date.
  • Periodical Payments Order – Payment made out of income by you to your spouse or vice versa to provide for the other and is frequently called spousal maintenance. 
  • Secured Provision Order – You or your spouse makes personal payments to the other for maintenance. It will only be made if the payer has enough capital or assets to cover the payment should the payer be unable to pay.
  • Nominal Maintenance Order – A nominal maintenance order is a maintenance order of a nominal amount such as £5 per year.
  • Pension sharing order – an order for your or your spouse’s pension to be shared on a percentage basis.

    "I have recently sold my property in Liverpool and Peter Caswell at Taylor Bracewell Solicitos acted on my behalf and he was outstanding. This was a very difficult sale due to the fact that the other party's solicitors was excessive in their demand and clearly ignorant but Peter was very patient during what ended up being a long drawn out process. Peter maintained professionalism..."
