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 agree on all those.... best piece of advice I have been given is "Keep your cool and remain amicable" and so far its working fairly out, but it is SO HARD esp when your wife is probably seeing someone else when living under the same roof.

But long term it is best to just shut it out and keep cool!

Mick. Depends on the worse other. If she is on your case all the time its hard to be amicable. I agree on the keep cool bit. There were times when I could have slotted her. I remember once sitting in the conservetory (during one of her abuse sessions) and thinking to myself what it would be like to slide a sword into her torso from the top. It was a nice thought.

The best piece of advice I've ever been given (on life in general) is "Never regret what you've done, only what you haven't done".

I've been divorced and widowed and I promise life does go on. In fact in my case it has got better. Hang on in there - time is a great healer.

The two best pieces of advice about my divorce are these:

1. Don't tell the children about your wife's affair, however much you want too. They are going to go through enough sh*t without hating their mother!

This has worked so far (9 months since separation and kids living week on week off with me and ex 2 be)and they seem much happier living in two houses which are calm and have no rows.

2. The sweetest revenge is your ex seeing you happier without her.

And boy has this one p*ssed her off. My life is so much better without her. I am me again rather than a door mat to some ginger headcase!

Onwards and upwards
