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 don''t even know which section to put this in as it could probably go into a-few.

we have a court date in the next few weeks. Are exchanging form E this week.

I am taking him to court to try to obtain a Mesher order. He has since became self employed, now signed off sick with ''depression'' he had affair and left. Does not pay any maintenence, he was paying half of mortgage but has now cancelled it and i''m unable to reinstate it as the mortgage was in his name only (i was prepared with mesher order to pay all of mortgage)

So he lets our 2 year old child down continuously, cancels on him on a regular basis, he has been away the past few weeks and as i didn''t let him see our child today he rants all over facebook (public profile) utter lies about me, our divorce me denying contact etc... I know it''s purile to use facebook for his rants but I can''t help to be furious about it.

I have proof of all messages him continuously cancelling to have our son and even the occasions he failed to turn up. I''ve had to do alot of soul searching and have profession emotional help and i''ve discovered that my stbx is in fact a sociapathical liar. he lied throughout our marriage with tax evasion, claiming statuary sick pay etc... all of this is prepared to sweep under the carpet, but now as he is spreading these lies about me do i, or how do i make him out to be the liar that he is. Is it worth me taking to court all my evidence of his continual lying???

My ex has lied and lied, am self repping so learing as i go along.

I''m in court about the finances, not childcare, was advised by a free law clinic not to say everything you know too soon. Wait until the Form Es have been filed, then just before the pre-liminary hearing, you''ll be asked to submit a Questionnaire (ask questions about all the lies in the Form E) and Statement of Issues (what you think are the main issues.

At the pre-liminary hearing the Judge will hopefully agree to all your questions, then will set a date for them to be answered, including any written documents.

When you attend the FDR, the Judge will expect all the docuements to have been provided, if not they will want to know why. At the third hearing, you or your solicitor are given the opportunity to cross examine your ex, at which point you can ask him about the lies, and expose them.

Hope this helps.

If it is finances that you are going to court over then any questions have to be finance focused.

Child are and issues around child are are seperate issues and won''t be dealt with in your financial hearings.
