In such unprecedented times, one question family lawyers are increasingly seeing is whether parties to financial orders will be able to challenge the provisions contained within them. Financial orders can cover a number of things ranging from what will happen to the family home to whether one party’s pension will be shared with the other. Once sealed by the court, the order becomes binding when decree absolute is pronounced. That means that even if you have experienced a drop in income, or your business is one of the one in four in the UK that has had to close, that order will apply and if you fail to abide by its terms, you will be in breach of it.
