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.
Is this possible?

Hmmmm.... sounds like a 'trust' issue!
What I can advise, is that even if he's started divorce, it could take 1-2 yrs for him to actually be divorced. So, you'll need to question if you have the stamina and patience to support him through that. Many new partners post on this Forum, so you're in good company for when the going gets tough!
It can be quite frustrating to be in a 'new' space, in a new relationship, whilst your beloved is emotionally still 'elsewhere', and stuck in the negative space of divorce.
If you do distrust him, can't you just ask to see the paperwork? He'd of had to instruct a solicitor to act for him.
I just hope you're not a 'Buffer Zone'. I hope your relationship survives this, and I hope he's not lying to you!
I'm not sure if this is true or not and I'm wondering if there's a way to verify it.
