financial settlement
Negotiated payment resolution
A financial settlement is a formal agreement resolving monetary matters between parties—typically in divorce, lawsuits, or business disputes.
In divorce, it divides assets, debts, and support obligations: The financial settlement gave her the house and half his pension.
In litigation, it ends a case without trial, usually with one party paying the other.
The term implies negotiated compromise rather than court-imposed judgment.
