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.

Reply from LittleMrMike
The first hearing, as I understand it, is an opportunity for a judge to review the progress made so far and may well give directions as to how the case is to proceed, so that, for example, (s)he might order one party to disclose documents within a given time.

An application for a consent order is normally made on a much shorter form known as M1.

If you have reached agreement, then all that should remain to be done is to draw up the consent order and submit it for approval.

The drafting of the order can be crucial and if you can afford it I would advise to have it checked by a solicitor.

Mike
