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.

Hi
Can anyone help please?
I am respresenting myself, Consent Order was drawn up in haste and perhaps a little under pressure. Judge raised issues with the wording of the order to which the ex''s solicitor is copying me in to a letter to the Court(that his solicitor has sent) with reference to the above. I have not received any correspondence from the Court regarding this so don''t really know what it is all about but gather something is not right?
Should I be contacting the Court to find out what is happening?? Not sure if they would liaise with me?

You need to be talking to the solicitor who wrote the order section 33a relates to undertakings, chances are there is a problem with the first part called the recital.

Speak to the solicitor they should be able to see the problem and amend it, oh and make sure you don`t get charged for the amendment.
