Getting divorced can be a very costly exercise, as anyone who’s been divorced will tell, but according to divorce lawyers it’s becoming very easy to fund your divorce with a bank loan. According to some of the country’s leading divorce lawyers, banks are more than willing to dole out cash to those people who are looking to get divorced, when they wouldn’t be inclined to loan the money to people wanting it for other means, for example a mortgage or car loan.

Anne Kay , from the divorce solicitors Boodle Hatfield, stated:

Women who are married to wealthy partners often find themselves temporarily without funds when divorcing their partner. It is ironic that in the current economic climate, lending by private banks to fund divorce appears to be on the increase.

One of the banks prepared to offer funding for your divorce is HSBC. It is believed that banks are more than happy to offer loans to those in the middle of divorce proceedings because they believe they’ll be asked to offer financial advice after the divorce is finalised.
