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.

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.

Does anyone know what the timescales and process is when someone cross petitions you.

I have petitioned my x2b and she has filed a cross petition - who's petition gets accepted and how long does it take.

Why in tarnation does your wife want to cross petition ?

This is exactly the sort of silly nonsense that used to happen when conduct could have a significant bearing on the outcome of the divorce settlement - both parties petitioning for divorce, which is total nonsense when you think about it - you both want out, so why not do it in the
cheapest and quickest way possible ?

It is highly unlikely that conduct will have the slightest effect on the financial settlement these days.

Does your wife realise the costs implications of this ? You don't want to waste your cash on fruitless legal disputes which benefit only lawyers.
