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.

dh who has filed for divorce came with me to relate, it was a really good session (horrible in the other sense coz of all the s**t we had to drudge up) and he has agreed to come back, he has our child one day at the weekend and wants to see more of her, now the counsellor suggested he stay over at our house as I've no where else to go (initially he refused) he agreed to have a think about it and he has agreed to stay over on the sofa and he was adamant that he never wanted to be in the same house as me, I'm trying not to build my hopes up but he could quite easily (and he had already mentioned it) have said our child could stay with him at his mums. Is this the type of thing that couples do when divorcing??

I think people do different things and I wouldn't read anything into it. My ex has stayed overnight in the past and it was meaningless.

I agree with Fiona. Don't read anything into anything. Go with the flow. We're (see really fresh, still into coupledom) in the throws of a quickie divorce. Still living in the same space, sleeping in the same bed, but differently. Care enough to make myself late for a meeting because he's lazy about food and I can't bear to see him eating rubbish. What can I say........
Be totally in touch with who you are and what you find acceptable and work from there. :silly:
