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 money propery and investments equally shared even if they are only in one persons name? We have been married 12 years. I just want things to be fair and equal.
Also what if they squirrel things in there Mums account?

hi, its quite common for one person to squirrel stuff away, you need a paper trail.
Happened to me, but I didnt have enough proof, except a voice recording of her and her ''bank'' friend.
After 12 years everything is in the pot.
The only thing i can suggest is you get everything documented now as to where everything is, money wise, and see if you can go back and get a paper trail for the past couple of years.
Depending on the amount, it might not be worth pursuing, I talking less than about £5K.
