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.


Do you need help sorting out a fair financial settlement?

Our consultant service offers expert advice and support to help you reach agreement on a fair financial settlement quickly, and for less than a quarter of the cost of using a traditional high street solicitor.

Hiya

Can anyone recommend any decent, tax credit friendly, single parent tour operators/holidays? My children are b14 and g11, and I'd like to go somewhere a bit active as opposed to sitting on a beach or by the pool everyday, although the odd day to do that would be good.

Thanks :)

Hi,

I tried this thread about a month ago, only had one response and that was for 'for the people who dont do cruises' - can't remember the name, but they were too expensive anyway! Good luck with this try - will be keeping an eye on it to see if anything suitable comes up for me and my kids (10 & 6).

Thanks guys!

No luck as yet, but if I come up with anything I'll post it here.

I would just love to go somewhere and not have all the 2.4 families looking at me with pity!

My parents divorced when I was very young, and my mother joined something called Gingerbread, dont know if its still going - maybe we need a new updated version of this or something.. call it Granarybread ... or maybe not!


Am going to google... back soon...!

Well... Gingerbread is still going, and Mush - great list on the times, thanks for that. Just so everyone knows, the link doesnt work, you have to cut and paste it into your browser. :)
