Read our latest Financial Settlements guide (2021) 

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.

To make a claim on the assets held by your ex you need to apply to the court for ancillary relief.

Follow this link to find out how:

www.wikivorce.com/joomla/Step-By-Step-Di...ncillary-Relief.html

This will begin the legal process that will decide how much you should get of combined assets.
(they will not consider just the endowment, they will loook at everything including property, pensions etc)

The assets are divided according to contribution and need and other factors (length of marriage, who looks after the kids).

I think you are saying you were married only 2 years so the kids are yours (not your ex's).

It is impossible to say at the moment how much of the endowment you would get until you provide a lot more financial detail

(take a quick look at the input screen for the Divorce Calculator for an idea of all the things that have to be taken into account).
