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.

Do you need help going to court over a Financial Settlement?

Our consultant service offers expert advice and support for people who are going to court over a fair financial settlement, for less than a quarter of the cost of using a traditional high street solicitor.

SETTING ASIDE A Consent Order 4 Minutes ago




I have just discovered that my now ex-wife bought a house for CASH for £450,000 a month BEFORE we went to court to seek consent orders - this wasn''t mentioned in the financial disclosure (we had full disclosure) and on the basis that I believed all she had was what we jointly owned, I agreed to the consent order as I didn''t want her and my child to be homeless and short of money - I have also been paying child maintenance/holiday money/ad hoc money etc. All I was left with was around 36% of assets. I know that her dad died earlier in the year in question (2010), but she still bought the house for cash as the Land Registry title deed shows "Lender - NONE". As I only agreed to the consent order ­base­d upon what was disclosed, can I go back to court via the original solicitor and seek for it to be set aside/cancelled or whatever the legal term is and claim what is rightly mine?? Thank you for reading this!!

Yes, certainly speak to your solicitor. Non disclosure of a substantial amount is a reason for setting said a consent order.
