What are we each entitled to in our divorce settlement?

What does the law say about how to split the house, how to share pensions and other assets, and how much maintenance is payable.

What steps can we take to reach a fair agreement?

The four basic steps to reaching an agreement on divorce finances are: disclosure, getting advice, negotiating and implementing a Consent Order.

What is a Consent Order and why do we need one?

A Consent Order is a legally binding document that finalises a divorcing couple's agreement on property, pensions and other assets.

I am self representing and have the Final hearing next week. I've read somewhere, but remember where now, that I am able to take a "Frankie" friend into the hearing itself. Is this true, and if so, are there any any restrictions as to who they can be eg can my sister be my "frankie" friend ??:unsure:

Hi

Do you mean a McKenzie friend? You may want to google it for a clear definition, but it basically means you take somebody non-legal into the court room with you for a bit of moral support. I think Heather Mills had her sister?

I'm sure somebody on here will be able to give you some advice on this though.
Hope that helps.
