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.

The court very quickly i may add,sent the divorce petition to my ex,i am the Petitioner,the 7 days have elapsed and he has sent me a message saying the form is complicated! Does anyone know if it matters if the forms are sent back late? and also not sure what form he has been sent but what does he have to fill in?? No children involved or financies... He asked me if i want to collect the form but surely he has to send it back to the court!

Many Thanks

Yes, he has to send it back to the court direct. The AoS (D10) is quite a simple form, compared to the Petition at least!

Don''t worry too much about the 7 days time limit. It''s very common to take a month or more to return it.
