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.

If an order is made by the court at an FDA stating "there will be no order to costs" then in the FDR court makes an order for costs, for instance due to lies by one party, will the costs order at the FDR cover any costs prior to the FDA. Or is it by the very fact that there was no order to costs at the FDA the previous early costs prior to the FDA cannot be claimed/awarded by the court?
Thank you folks

The order made at the FDA will stand regardless of any order made at the FDR.

The FDA order will mean costs of the hearing only so it is possible that an order which says "costs of the application be paid by X party" could include all costs apart from the FDA hearing itself.
