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 sarahsc,

My ex used verbal abuse on me....& very good he was at it too.

If it's any help, i bought a small cheap dictor phone recorder, i would stay in the kitchen with it hidden, th minute he would start, i would turn it on to record & hide it out of sight.....my lawyer loved it :).

All the evidence was there, maybe ask a friend if they have one you could borrow, or if you can record it on your mobile phone.

A lawywer & court's will see him/her for what they really are.

Best of luck D

He could however I do not think due to his past history he will find it easy to rent something. He is simply staying in my opinion for this reason.... But surely this is not my concern especially as I had to find a new home for me and then two babies within two weeks a few years ago when I stumbled across the eviction notice a month after he disappeared???

Im pretty sure he has a right to remain living in the FH until the divorce is finalised. You can certainly request that the leaves, but you can't just throw him out with no-where to live and knowing that he is unlikely to be able to secure a tenancy elsewhere.

Use this as an incentive to resolve the financial matters and progress the divorce. You would probably benefit from legal advice (WIkivorce has various financial consultation services) to ascertain where you stand legally, what your options are for moving forwards and what a fair financial settlement could look like.

Thank you for your advice.
Im looking to understand my options before getting costly legal advice.
There are no financial assets due to his previous actions. He currently provides no financial support sorry very little financial support ie £20 once towards school shoes over three years for two children, once part paid a trip for one child. I would like him to provide towards the children as well as see them. A formal financial agreement will be required due to his views of priorities ie girlfriends and hotels become before his children
