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.

Can anyone shed some light on my predicament please? My wife left along with our three daughters to live with a new middle income partner. I pay £500 / month on a voluntary arrangement but am concerned that my ex and her partner are using most of this as 'holiday money' or for themselves and that its not really all going to my girls. How can I enforce this or can I place the money in a trust fund or savings account? Meanwhile I am struggling financially. Does anyone know if ex wifes new partner is means tested so that they can contribute more and the 'deserted' non resident parent pay less? Many thanks in anticipation. Martin.

Child support isn't affected by your wife's co-habitation although spouse maintenance could be.
