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 have seen a letter requesting my partner presently to go to to tiral on the summary procedure. I have not defended the divorce, but stated that i neither confirm or deny the wording in the Petition. What is a tiral and what does this mean? What is the summary procedure? Help!

It could be a typo and should read trial?

Summary suggests the process is being speeded up but quite why your partner is being called to court not sure. Has his STBX stated partner committed adultery and he isn''t defending the petition? If so maybe the argument is partner pays costs? If so maybe it''s best to agree to pay divorce costs to stop a court hearing.

We''re you named as a third party in divorce and your response was neither to confirm or deny you were involved?

Has partner got a legal team? Maybe they could advise or post more detail on here or go and see citizens advice. It might affect financial proceedings so best to be up to date.

Nope its a letter from court saying that it can go "tiral on the summary procedure", no lawyers involved. Should i involve one, do I have to attend? Any advice welcome.

Are you the respondent in a divorce, the Petitioner or a named co-respondent? Is it your partner that is divorcing or are you?
Does the other party have solicitors? Are you or your partner or both self representing?

Is it clear that it is solely in regard to the petition? I presume financial proceedings are not yet underway in court.

My experience is that it is quite common for there to be spelling mistakes in court letters. Don''t think tiral is a word either legal or otherwise.

i am the respondent and we are representing ourselves. still trying to work things through but when i saw the letter wanted to understand if trial means i have to attend the court. and also what the trial is about - the note refers that she can go trial on the summary procedure, presumably that is the summary procedure in the Petition. just need to know if i will be asked to attend court and if i should not get a lawyer involved. there is a child involved.
