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 want a divorce and after further discussions with my wife she has agreed based on 2 years apart, however, I have recently found out that she filed other proceedings against me for divorce some years ago that are still with the courts. What is my next step?

If she started other proceedings then this does not stop you from issuing your own Petition, provided that you disclose, on the face of your petition, the details of the previous proceedings.

What stage were they at? If she issued a Petition ut it was not ever served on you, then she cn simply apply to withdraw the petition and idsmiss the proceedings
