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.

xpetition/defence and hearings

I was threatened with x-petition/defence if I petitioned my x2b on UB rather than agree to him petitioning me on adultery that never happened, bullying I know but I did it anyway.
What I need to know is if he defends or x-petitions do you have to go to court for hearings? Is that always the case?
We were only married 10 months before we split up and he has 3 other marriages behind him (all never lasting over a year), he lives and works in Germany and mediation/hearings would be extremely hard to do and expensive for such a short marriage.
I don’t know what to do or think

Your ex ought to be told to stop wasting his and your time and get on with his life and leave you alone.
Legally he can waste as much money as he wants on x petition/defence etc, the judge will just award a divorce on the basis that both you want it so the result will the same. get a NMO if he continues giving you hassle.
