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.

Are the 19 and 18 year old adults still living at home?

How big is house, can you downsize as only 9 year old is a dependant

Are you seeking work and how long unemployed?

Leaving the pensions aside for the moment the value of the other assets isn''t insignificant so there will be a few options. Depending on local property prices I would have thought it would be relatively straight forward and there would be enough to purchase a property for you outright leaving a reasonable deposit for your husband to put towards rehousing. Relevant factors are whether or not the older two are in education or training and your potential earning capacity. Aspirations are also important, what do you both want?
