Family Loans: Should You Borrow From Family During A Divorce?


The issue of ‘family loans’ comes up time and again in the cases we see. Money is often very tight during a separation and it is natural that friends and family will want to help out if they can.

But should they… ?
And if they do, what about repayment?

We’ve produced an online course which tells you everything you need to know about the law in this area. It’s your first port of call if family loans are part of your story.

Borrowing from family during a divorce can get very fraught if care is not taken to structure things right. Judges can and frequently do ignore such loans if they consider that, in reality, they are unlikely to be called in. So take advice, and take care- before you take on family loans.
