As reported in MoneyWeek, ‘DIY divorce’ covers a range of possibilities. If this means navigating divorce with no professional input at all however, couples risk making irreversible decisions which could have a detrimental impact on their financial future.

However, for many, this reflects a growing trend for couples to drive their own divorce, choosing to access financial, legal, co-parenting and pensions advice as and when they need it and on their terms.

This also encourages a more collaborative approach to divorce, which is always to be encouraged.
