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.


At the start of a long road ahead

Hello

Just thought i''d take a moment to introduce myself.

My husband and I split around 7 months ago, I left our home 6 months ago (with our 4yr old son), however have just moved back into the property as my tenancy came to an end and it makes a lot more sense financially (although definitely not emotionally) until we are divorced and our money divided.
I am only 2 weeks into living back here, some days are ok, some days i wonder if i have the strength to keep going!!!

I spoke to someone on the advice line today, and despite my biggest concern being how our assets are split it was explained to me that we cant do that bit until a Decree Nisi is granted. So i now realise that i need to get cracking on filing for divorce (husband already knows i shall be siting unreasonable behaviour).
However much you know its coming, doesnt however stop it hurting when the time actually comes though :(

Thanks for reading
M.G

Welcome to wiki. Yes, it''s going to be tough but so much easier now you have the wiki support community to help you through this.

Many people are willing to share their experience of divorce, the procedures and the pitfalls, and generally support you when things get you down and are pleased for you when things go well.

Living in the same house is a trial, so the shorter the better. I did 18 months and it''s not something I''d recommend!

Take care of yourself and your little one.
