Although outside the jurisdiction, restraint and confiscation orders make reasonable frequent appearances in family court proceedings. This is perhaps unsurprising, as most of us would likely give some thought to the future if it came to light that our spouse was involved in significant financial or organised crime, which could result in confiscation of family assets.. As such, it is not unusual for suspects faced with a criminal investigation or prosecution to also find themselves contemplating divorce. Given the possibility of these regimes butting heads as they compete for the client’s assets, it is helpful for family lawyers to have a grasp of restrain and confiscation orders, and their interaction with financial proceedings.

In this podcast, Ian Hawkins, Mary Waring, and Phil O'Connor discuss the many benefits that can b...

Although Corker Binning is a specialist defence firm, we appreciate that family lawyers experience both sides of a criminal investigation in representing both complainants and the subjects of those complaints.

We often receive enquiries via family lawyers from complainants, or potential complainants, seeking advice on the procedure and likely consequences of criminal investigations and proceedings. Whilst it is not usually necessary for complainants to receive formal criminal law advice (although this can be arranged, for example where a client is particularly anxious about the process of providing evidence to the police, or where there is a risk of a counter-allegation), we are always happy to share the benefit of our experience.

As with most areas of contentious law, having to instruct a criminal or family lawyer is seldom a happy process for the client. Unfortunately, the nature of relationship breakdown means that all too often family proceedings result in the need for criminal advice. On occasion, it is the criminal proceedings that lead to family law problems.

When a marriage or civil partnership fails, the courts use their discretion to decide how a family’s finances and property are divided up. This means that they look at all the circumstances of the case but will put the welfare of the children first.

At the beginning of the divorce process, a real concern you may have is what the financial outcome of your split will be. You may well have worries over whether you'll be able to keep the family home or whether your children will have to change schools, how much money you'll have to live on and what the status of your and your partner's pensions may be.

Be part of a growing community of specialist financial advisers and planners across the UK. Gain a thorough understanding of the opportunities and challenges of being an expert in this field.
