    Hi, my wife and I have been separated for one year, we have agreed a financial settlement, is is possible to legalise it in a Court without divorce proceedings?

    Thank you for your message. Of course you can apply for a financial order to deal with your financial matter, based on the financial agreement you have both reached. The application can be made with divorce proceedings or separately. The difference between a financial order and a financial agreement is that the former is a Court order, which can be enforced directly against the default party, while the latter is only an agreement. In the event of breach by one party, the other party will have to apply for a Court order, then enforce it in default.
