FAQs
The answers to some of our most frequently asked questions.
What is financial provision in the context of divorce?
Financial provision refers to the financial settlements made between divorcing parties, which may include lump sum payments, property transfers, maintenance payments, and pension sharing.
How is financial provision determined in Scotland?
