The end of a relationship brings a flood of emotion and a maze of decisions. We sit down with financial planner and seasoned mediator Phil O’Connor to strip the process back to first principles: secure a home you can truly afford, protect your income, and keep a real buffer for life’s shocks.
Phil O'Connor - Resolution Accredited Independent Financial Adviser
I specialise in the financial aspects of divorce. I work with my clients to help them make better, more informed financial decisions on all the marital assets including pensions, investments and property. I assist clients, mediators and family lawyers across the UK with joint expert, single expert and neutral work. I have been a Resolution Accredited Independent Financial Adviser since its inception in 2007 and a Resolution IFA committee member since 2014 and help to write the examination papers for IFA Resolution Accreditation and reaccreditation. I am an active member of Manchester POD and in 2013 and again in 2019 I was Joint Chair. I completed Foundation Mediation training with FMA in 2014 to understand the process better when working as a financial neutral.
