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.


Do you need help sorting out a fair financial settlement?

Our consultant service offers expert advice and support to help you reach agreement on a fair financial settlement quickly, and for less than a quarter of the cost of using a traditional high street solicitor.

Hi,
I got my Decree Absolute in oct 11, last year and signed a Consent Order, as the Respondant, in sep 11.

as yet my ex''s solicitors have not been instructed by him to process the order through the court.

as it has been over 6 months since i signed this order and he has done nothing with it, is it still valid?

i just want everything sorted but he seems to be refusing to budge. i have given him the house, which is in joint names and agreed for him to remove me from the mortgage, which he has yet to do and also i am the only one paying into the joint overdraft!

the consent order covers all this but if it hasnt gone through court yet , then where do i stand?

please help
