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.

I think its about 14 days or so. He is way over time now. You need to talk to your sol about getting it served on him in person. Some sols have a sort of balif come postman that can serve it. Have a chat to your sol. Usualy having something handed to you in an official kind of way spurs some people into action. Its the next step anyway. Atila knows more than me about this and hopefully he will reply to this post. Chris.

Need to know the grounds for the Divorce?

Since Petition was sent out to spouse do you KNOW that it has been received ie have you had a conversation with spouse which confirms to you spouse has had the same?
