Financial provision on divorce remains one of the most challenging areas of family law in Scotland, particularly where outcomes are uncertain and heavily dependent on the facts of each case.

For solicitors, the key risk lies in advising clients on likely outcomes, managing expectations and navigating complex financial arrangements. This session provides a practical overview of how financial claims are approached in practice, highlighting common areas of dispute and where opportunities and risks arise.

Topics covered are as follows:

  • The current approach to financial provision under the statutory framework
  • Fair sharing and economic advantage/disadvantage in practice
  • Unequal sharing: when it arises and how it is argued
  • Treatment of business assets, pensions and complex finances
  • The role of conduct in financial claims
  • Evidential challenges and practical considerations
  • Recent developments and trends
  • Amanda Masson is the Head of Family Law at Wright, Johnston & Mackenzie LLP. She is an experienced litigator, in both the Sheriff Court and Court of Session.
