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.
Acknowledging Service.

Hello! 
I''ve had papers served on me from my ex''s solicitor in relation to my children and a request to acknowledge service in the paperwork.
I''ve also cross applied to court for my children and have just received the papers back from the court.
I appear to have two copies of my own papers.
Do I give her solicitor''s 1 copy of the papers? How do I "serve" them, do I have to give them to the actual solicitor mentioned in her paperwork (if there is one?!), or do I give them to her myself? (considering she may kill me).
How do I acknowledge the service? She''s accused me of some of the most ridiculous things, even managing to flip an incident in which she abused me into an incident in which I apparently abused her. I feel that if I reply to these she will find a way to abuse me again. I''ve put in my own paperwork (C100, C1 and C1A) that she abused me and the children, so will this suffice?
She sent me a text the other day, I sent her one back. She then replied with 5 abusive texts.
ARGH.
Thanks!
