How Long Do Court Proceedings About Finances Last
A recent report said that the Family Court are ‘in crisis’, reflecting the ever-increasing length of time it is taking to conclude ‘financial remedy’ proceedings on divorce. The figures are stark: cases outside London are taking on average 84 weeks to conclude, unless settlement is reached along the way. The figure for London is even worse, at 160 weeks!
To state the obvious, these are appalling stats, which mask the enormous emotional and financial cost to separating couples who find themselves in court. So the message couldn’t be clearer – avoid the limbo of court proceedings if you possibly can. And even if you’re already in court proceedings, don’t stop trying to reach a settlement if you can.
