How we help

Divorce and separation

Choosing to separate or divorce can feel overwhelming, both emotionally and financially. It’s a time when important decisions need to be made, often without complete certainty about how they will shape your future.

The steps you take now can influence your lifestyle and long‑term financial wellbeing, which makes clear, measured and professional support especially valuable.

The value of engaging early with a financial adviser

While your solicitor will manage the legal aspects of the process, their role may not extend to fully exploring how decisions today could affect your financial position over time. Seeking advice from a financial professional early on can help ensure that any agreement is aligned not just with your immediate needs, but with your longer‑term goals as well.

A financial adviser can help value assets, organise a financial disclosure, clarify your income needs and handle essential documentation throughout the process. Crucially, their support doesn’t stop once an agreement is reached – they can also help you reshape your financial plans, so you feel more in control and better prepared for the next chapter.

Financial disclosure during divorce and separation

Disclosing your financial assets to your spouse on divorce or separation is essential to ensuring a fair settlement. If it is later proven in court that you failed to disclose all of your assets, it is likely the financial settlement will be revisited. Assets that must be disclosed include property, investments and insurance policies.

Our financial advisers can advise you on the best division of assets, assist with asset disclosure via the completion of ‘Form E’, analyse your future income requirements and assist with administrative paperwork.

Having worked with Mike and Amicus since it's inception I know that my finances are in good hands. The regular reviews that Mike organizes with me to validate the investment strategy enable us to tweak the portfolio along the way for maximum value and has helped produce strong returns. I have used Mike and his colleagues at Amicus to inform me across various other parts of my financial planning, including arranging the financing for property purchases and have been confident in recommending him to friends and colleagues who have communicated to me that they are equally pleased.”

I particularly like the fact that I will be made aware of potential future changes in legislation or rules that could impact me. This combined with the regular review meetings that re-assess current state gives me the confidence that I can adjust my financial plans in plenty of time, if required.”

J.T

I have a great relationship with Mike and trust him 100%. He knows my goals, risk tolerance and appreciates my lack of time. I am a very structured person and like that he always comes super prepared for our meetings. I feel as though my financials are in a safe pair of hands but also that my changing needs are being met. I see this as a long-term partnership.”

V.C

I would certainly recommend Amicus Wealth as the financial company you should be talking to. I was provided with impartial, practical and professional advice on my financial portfolio which I have matured both privately and professionally. After using another renowned broker, I decided to obtain a third party opinion and went to Amicus Wealth who methodically and meticulously went through my various policies and ended up with a streamlined and comprehensive set of policies that provides for my future and at a reduced premium – what else could I ask for.”

T.H

I originally approached Will Pennie because I was looking for advice on pension management. Having received very good guidance and support on my pension planning, I also used Will for a more holistic approach to the management of my finances. I have already recommended Will to colleagues, the sort of person that would benefit most from using Will is the busy senior manager/executive that cannot dedicate the time required to self-manage their finances and is looking for solid and dependable financial advice.”

G.K

Gethin put forward a range of suggestions and ideas that I would not have been able to undertake myself to ensure that I maximized the window of investment opportunity available. Before I came to Amicus, I had no real specific concerns however has previously dealt with my financial arrangements myself but wanted to understand transparency of arrangements. It has been a very useful experience to help me get my financial planning on a sound footing and provide opportunities for the future. ”

C.S

I have no hesitation in recommending Chris’s services. In my view – regardless of your situation – it is always worth an initial conversation with Chris to see if he can assist you in meeting your investment and tax management objectives. When I first met Chris I did not have a clear idea of what I was looking to achieve or indeed what was possible. I also needed to feel comfortable dealing with him and his company.”

M.W

We would recommend Amicus to seasoned and novice investors alike and to any budding entrepreneurs. Dave and his team at Amicus are a dynamic, forward looking company and I am confident that our investments and the advice we receive are on a very sound footing. We particularly liked the thorough approach and risk analysis Amicus used to understanding our financial situation and advising on the possible strategies which could be used to maximise our funds growth over the long term.”
