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.

Hello,

There is a small mistake on my marriage certificate- my middle name is missing a letter. The Petition has now arrived with the same mistake, do I ignore it? How might this affect me in later years or is it no big deal?
Basically, I don''t want to ignore it and when I''m ready to marry again, it presents problems.
Any ideas / thoughts?

Its not as uncommon as you may think, the easiest way to deal with it is to add a covering letter noting the spelling mistake on the marriage cert and subsequent Petition, then its for the court to decide what if anything needs to be done.
