Historical financial order
Could you please clarify what you mean by "historical financial order"? Are you referring to a past financial order that has already been implemented or something else?
No financial order on divorce
In England, if there was no financial order at the time of your divorce:

- Either party can make future financial claims.
- You should seek a 'Clean Break Order' to avoid future claims.
