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.

I have just found out that my partner of 8 years and 1 day is on websites looking for new partners.

As upset as I am, I am trying to keep a level head. I would like this girl to move out, but claims to have a hold on my house.

The house is in my name as is all bills, as I couldn''t trust her to look after them.

She is still married to her Ex (weird) but has split from him 10 years. They have 2 children together, both living with him.

As a general rule of thumb, she would not have any interest in the house unless she made some contributions, perhaps towards the deposit, or the mortgage, but usually not household expenses.

I think, on the face of what you say, she could be excluded by your giving reasonable notice, but I would certainly go to Court and get an order. Don''t try to do it yourself.

Legal advice is recommended.
