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.

Unless the conduct is really violent or criminal I can''t see that it will be of any benefit to raise it anyway. I also don''t see how your STBX cross-petitioning will stop you raising the conduct issues in the future.

Maybe he feels embarassed about how he left and wants to know it will not be brought up to humiliate him. Hopefully someone else on here will be able to offer more sound legal advice but may need more information.

Do I assume your finances are settled?

Lilliput.... I take it you are Petitioner under UB. Unless I have read your post erroneously.

Ok, standard for any ex to use as the R in UB is: ''don''t agree with D8 statement, but will not contest'' or words to that effect.
This may seem hell at the mo, but no children or property involved, so seems to me, relatively staight forward divorce so you can both move on. Clean Break, I suspect.

I do not know what you mean by ex''s sol''s letter..... either gone or is going to Nisi and Absolute, or not. Or are you talking about AR process? Hope you found this of some help anyway, but you do need to be clearer on your case and state where you both are at the mo
