Bath
Of course, Bath is known for its Roman-built baths. It can boast about being the largest city in the county of Someset and is in the valley of the River Avon. In 1997 the city became an important world heritage site for obvious reasons. Bath has been a wellbeing destination since Roman times, so there is some hope that the therapeutic ambiance of the city will have rubbed off into family law. Before you head to the law offices because of separation or divorce, take time to discover the museums and galleries.
Jane Austen made the city her home from 1801 to 1806. Even if right now you think love is deep-rooted in the past, a few pages of Austen could bring some romance back into your life. If you are on your first visit to a divorce solicitor it’s a good idea to take a friend along as a second pair of ears. As Jane wrote in Northanger Abbey “Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.” so take her advice and lean on a friend.

Empowering you on to your financial independence and a brighter financial future
So, you think there is no future?
If you work, how can you maximise your income? Could you ask your employer for training and up your game at work? Get a promotion? Could do something at weekends to earn some extra cash. You may have to be “all hands to the pumps” for a while to set yourself on the straight and narrow financially, but it will be all worthwhile. Again, it is worth speaking to a financial advisor about the possibilities available to you. There are also career coaches out there who can help you to realise your potential and income growth! Financial planning needs to be a box you tick.
How can I get a cheap divorce?
You may need some life insurance to protect your children in the event of your death or you may wish to protect your income if you suffered a critical illness. There are many possibilities to explore and you can take what you earn along with what you may have in the bank and make the best of the situation. Many people have company pensions which lay dormant, these can be revived and made to work again. Everyone’s situation differs.
You will be dealing with similar issues if your partner has died. You have to look at the “pot” available to you and get it working to its maximum potential, taking into account the possible future scenarios. A one to one consultation with a financial advisor will help you to put things into some kind of order. If you haven’t dealt with money matters before, they will explain what everything means as you go along. You may find that your partner had shares which mean nothing to you. Get all the paperwork together ready for an advisor to look through and make sense of.
Ladies, why dealing with your finances might not be your thing
Dealing with finances can seem scary and complicated
Yes, if you have never been the one to deal with the finances, it can all seem a very daunting and complicated. However, a good financial advisor will put everything into plain English and explain so you understand. There is no point shying away from financial planning because it seems “scary” – you have to take the bull by the horns and face up to it. You will feel uplifted when you realise that things are no so complicated afterall.
