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.

Hi
I have been really struggling with this one.
I met my husband 4 years ago, we married last April and he now has moved out and wants a divorce. He is moving quite fast on this one and I still love him, after everything he has done.

I am seeing a solicitor on Thursday, which I am compiling loads of paperwork to take with me. So thanks Atilladahun and Mike for your help in getting me to do this!

However, I am still so shocked this is happening and I keep jumping every text and call on my phone thinking its him to say he's made a terrible mistake and can he come back! I know in my head that isn't going to happen but my heart is yearing.

And what about Valentines day? The first Valentines day since we've been married? What will you all be doing? Is there a valentines day evening out for us members? Only joking, but really what are we going to do? I might get online here on Thursday.
Feel free to send any valentine cards to me, it will cheer me up.

I'm just numb from all of this.

Answers please

Hiya loops. Its early days for you. Valentines day thursday? Of course its hard for you. You thought like many of us that this was it. Forever. But it wasnt to be. I am sorry. All that glitters is not gold. You may think that he as moved on. But most dont so easily. If he has however it could be becuase he was not yours to start with. Dont waste a moment on someone so fickle with your feelings. You deserve so much better. He could not have been that commited to give you a marriage that lasted such a short time. Its hard for all of us at 1st but time is a great healer. Move on at your own pace. You will feel better once the divorce is over with. Be strong, Chris.

Loopy, Valentines is just another day. Its what happens on every other day of the year thats important. It always amazes me that people put on such a big show for one day and then treat their partners like s*** for the other 364!

It will all work out, try to be positive.

Take care
