Head of Family Law
Grindeys Solicitors
Technically, Ancillary Relief no longer exists.
It used to be the name of the application made by one party of a divorcing couple, asking the Court to resolve the financial issues relating to their marriage i.e. claims for capital, for spousal maintenance and against pensions.
This is now called an application for a financial order. People still refer to it as ancillary relief: ancillary meaning connected to divorce and relief as in to resolve the issues.
