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 been divorced for over 6 years and agreed periodic payments under a Consent Order.

My ex feels I should increase payments and has applied for a variation.

Despite initiating the action she has been late submitting form E, Questionaire and now response to Questionaire agreed at first appointment.

I have gone out of my way to meet deadlines so its a bit frustrating.

Is thre any point in highlighting at FDR, is the judge likely to impose any sanctions?

We are both self represented so costs are not an issue.

Thanks

At court tomorrow with a similar situation - will let you know outcome.

However don't think it makes any difference.

My solicitor says that although my x has not followed court directions ie time scales for documentation - it makes little difference

If you are both self repping why are you not using mediation to get to an agreement and get a consent order.

Its a far quicker and easier process.

Hi
I did try to get ex to discuss or even tell me what she expects, but she feels she will get best deal in court.
