Brain injuries can have a big impact on your life, including your relationships. Brain injury charity Headway suggests that anywhere between 20% and 50% of marriages end in divorce following a severe head injury.
It is not uncommon for marriages to break down following a brain or other serious injury, due to the huge amount of strain that these incidents can place on the individual and their family.
Divorce can be a complicated and emotional process. But if you have a substantial personal injury award to pay for your specific future care needs, then it can be especially difficult. At this time, you will want to know that you have the right team behind you to secure a suitable divorce settlement that's fair for you, and your ex-partner.
Our experience as one of the UK's leading law firms in both family law and personal injury claims means we're uniquely placed to represent you in a divorce following a serious injury. We understand what you've been through to get to this stage, and what will be required to reach the best possible outcome for you.
We can help you with issues such as:
- Protecting your personal injury compensation - this might be considered part of the divorce settlement
- Meeting care requirements after your divorce - if your ex-partner helped to care for you previously
- Agreeing maintenance payments or care for your children
- Whether you will need assistance or supervision when you see your children
- Helping you to claim further compensation following divorce - this might be possible in certain cases
- Protecting your property rights for a home that's been adapted to your needs
There are a range of options we can look at to keep your divorce out of court, which typically can mean it is agreed more quickly and cheaply. We'll guide you through your options, delivering a compassionate service that keeps you informed every step of the way.
