What does the law say about how to split the house, how to share pensions and other assets, and how much maintenance is payable.
The four basic steps to reaching an agreement on divorce finances are: disclosure, getting advice, negotiating and implementing a Consent Order.
A Consent Order is a legally binding document that finalises a divorcing couple's agreement on property, pensions and other assets.
introducing a new partner to their children soon isn't gender specific! In fact if numbers were important I think you would find it's men who tend repartner more quickly.
I don't know why some people are in such a rush, it seems much better to me to sort out the divorce, settle finances and establish childcare arrangements first. One of the major factors in highly conflicted divorces which are so detrimental to the emotional well being of children is new partners (or close friends and family members) who take on disputes between divorcing/separating couples as their own. Another major factor for poor outcomes for children is multiple changes to the family structure and around 50% of step families break down within a year. In my experience children rarely "turn their heads" just because of things said to them.
However, I think if the first marriage doesn't work out people are entitled to try again and they don't choose when they fall in love.
