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.

 

Does the truth come out in a final hearing ?

Can someone please please re-assure me that the truth will come out in a final hearing. My final hearings are scheduled for the end of January, and have just seen the final statement, which contradicts so many things said previously. ie :

A year ago his mortgage borrowing capacity was over £200,000, now he can only get £130,000

His employers were fully supportive that he could work from home - not now apparently, he is going to reduce his salary

House value - middle of last year over £330,000, December 2011 suddenly he wants to agree a value of £310,000 - statement received last week, suddenly he has upped it to £330,000 again !

Will the judge pick up on these things and query them ??

From my experience the judge doesn''t pick up anything! Unless you can prove that he is manipulating the figures and even then he will probably get away with it. The saying "The Law
Is an Ass" is right I''m afraid.

Judges don`t know the people before them so they rely on evidence on paper, that is what is important particularly in a final hearing, people tell fibs and often accuse each other of all sorts.

If its on paper then the judge will give it due consideration.
