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.

If you haven't already done so you could investigate the possibilities of a remortgage payment holiday or changing to an interest only mortgage with the lender.

With regard to getting your husband to pay it depends on whether or not he works for a company based in the UK or which other country is involved. If a court makes an order here it's feasible to enforce it in many other countries, although the expense and time might make it not worthwhile.
