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.

Hi Hildadee & welcome to Wiki!

Not only is it allowed, we promote and recommend it!

Me & my ex did it and had ground rules, its not ideal or pleasant perhaps. Both parties should be entitled to stay in their home, although each may feel they want the other to move out :unsure:.

We don''t recommend anyone stay where Domestic Violence occurs.

I would recommend having a chat and agree some ground rules.

For example I had the smaller spare room, so I had 1st choice on the lounge with the TV. He had the main, larger bedroom with TV.

No making phone calls to new b/f or g/f or bad mouthing the other to friends/family while the other is in the house.

Just general courtesy stuff.

We worked it so that (mostly) when he was out, I was in and vice versa. Just gives you a bit of a break.

Just whatever works for both of you!

WhiteRose is right, you ought to establish ''rules''.

You probably won''t be able to stay friendly every day
