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.

When can I start divorce proceedings?

Hi there, new member here... just a quick question.
My husband and I are seperated and have agreed to two years seperation and consent.
I was wondering however, when the two years legally starts from and we'd be able to start proceedings.
Would it be from the December when we agreed to end the marriage and he moved into the spare room or the date he actually moved out the house? (Which was the following April and it'd be quite nice to start sooner than later!!)
Thanks,
V

Thank you for that guys
It'll be two years this coming December so not long before we can get the ball rolling. Truthfully ChrisM; there was no UB, we just realised we had nothing more to give to each other and that we wanted different things in life.
If he keeps to his word it'll be a paper excercise. There are no children and the house was sold with equity split 50/50.
I'm one of the lucky ones I guess. (I hope!)

Velvet,
It may be a paper exercise to a point, but the general advice here seems to be to get a sol to give the forms a final once over, to make sure that you haven't missed anything, or are agreeing to something unfair or inappropriate.
Best of luck with it
Mike
