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.

If he is harassing you and your mother you should be able to take out a non-molestation order against him. See a solicitor for advice about how to do this.

You need to get the divorce process started and settle financially so that you can get some money from the house. If you have no children (as I assume is the case) you will probably be entitled to 50% each. This will seem unfair if you have paid for everything throughout the marriage but it will be better than your present situation in which he has everything and you have nothing.

Does he have an income or the potential to earn one? You might have to pay spouse maintenance for a while if he doesn't, or if he earns much less than you do.

we dont have no children, amd yes his pestering me for money, the divorce started already, he earns alot but pay slips show he gets 100 pound a week, i dont know why he should claim 50 percent , he is playing with me saying he wont leave home and make me pay for everything .
he has gone bancrup whilst married and lost everything , and when i started working he made me pay for everything . its very stress full , i cant bealive he will get what he does not deserve.

As sexy says get a NMO and an Occupation Order asap. Go to the local police station and get them to register a complaint for harassment against him. If they are not too busy they will visit him.

Get a good sol and slam a petition faster than superman. Dont pay any bills for the house he is in. Cancel all standing orders and direct debits. If necessary change bank accounts. Rent somewhere safe.

Get help from the local womens refuge they will give you good advice as well as somewhere safe to stay.

Personally I would chop his head off with an axe and stick it on a pike but you will have to follow the legal route!!

All the best. B)

thank u for the advise, but i tryed to cancell direc debits and every thing but they said to me because everything is in a joint name i am liable to pay everything if not i will be in black list aswhel ashim , and thats what he is trying to do, so i dont have life and not able to stand up financially.
i will go to my solicitors and explain to him about the orders and hope fully that will help, i cant bealive i never knew the man i married with for 8 years, i think he lives in the flat with his girlfriend and this is more disturbing because i brought everything in that flat , i newly decorated it and it is hurting me , i cant sleep thinking that i have done nothing wrong and now i am vonurable.
i feal like going to the flat knocking the door down and sitting in it ,but i am so sceared that he will do something to me,he is very sceary and followes me around , and depressing me for just money .
Please note, although no boardcode and smiley buttons are shown, they are still useable

You can write to the bank and ask for your name to be deleted from it and the account closed. Explain to the bank that you have seperated and they should freeze the account.

Once the ancillary relief hearings start he will have to make an offer to give you at least 50% probably more.

Dont be scared. Just kick him in the privates if he tries anything as well as take a couple of male friends with you when you meet the idiot.
