What are the costs involved in divorce financial proceedings?
In England and Wales, if the financial proceedings are contested, then at each interim hearing and at the final hearing the judge may make an order regarding the costs of the applications that he or she has just dealt with. Usually, the party who lost will be ordered to pay the winning party’s costs. The problem for the judge is often how to assess who ‘lost’ and who ‘won’, particularly at a final hearing.
