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 received a Consent Order back from the Court which has been sealed with their stamp.

However,the signature block at the end of the document (which was signed by both parties plus both sets of solicitors when submitted) has been covered over when scanned and sent back.

Seems rather odd to me but having spoken to two people working at the Central Family Court, they have both confirmed that this is normal practice but can''t say why. They''ve also said as long as it has a Court stamp on it, then its valid. Does anyone have any ideas as to why they do this?

My ex''s solicitors are saying they need the complete version before applying for the DA but the court are saying to me that they don''t need to send it out becuase it''s perfectly valid. Bit of a stale mate really.
