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.

house is jointly owned on a mortgage with about 15 000 equity on it so far. Ex-to-be was removed from the marital property due to domestic violence. was charged and found guilty of assault in court and made to pay compensation plus community service. I also got some occupational orders for him. divorce is at nissi stage. i earn more than him @!*^@!

My dilemna is, since he left 7 months ago, he has not been contributing towards his half of the mortgage. I still live in the house with 3 children 2 who are minor. he has refused to contribute towards child maintanance nor mortgage repayments. when we come to sharing out stuff, will the judge take note of the fact that he has not been contributing towards the mortgage? he seems to be dragging the financial stage by not cooperating with disclosures presumably to wait out until there is more equity in the house. will he be entitled to any equity acquired after the period he left the property with him not contributing anything?

due to special cirrcumstances, I can not use CSA for child maintanance claims and have been told i have to take him to court for this.He has no contact with the kids due to his violent nature. Can the judge rule out that he backpays on child maintanance. Can I write to his employers to ask them to deduct some money for child maintance? I know....getting a bit desperate, but suggestions anyone!!!

Also, can i get spousal maintanance if i earn more than him in light of the fact that i have custody of the kids. can he claim same from me since he is not contributing to anything a the moment? whew!!! loads of issues i have raised there, but HELP anybody!!!

Why can you not use CSA for child support?

Have you applied for Ancillary Relief to ensure mortgage is paid?

we started our divorce process with Ancillary Relief in 2008. The proccedings were put on hold while children residnecy was sorted.
Ex2b for that reason manipulated my 12 yr old son and now has temporary residence for him until the phychiatrist report on 10 March 10. I was a full time mom for 18 yrs and ex has his own business which he denies.He has transferred everything to his brother who has same initials. I didnt know most of his whereabouts I know he had other properties too but he never told me the address.
Ex2b had stopped paying mortgage and piled up huge bills and started living at his fathers.
my sol just sent him a letter suggesting he pays some maintenance if he doesnt then we shall apply in court again.
I have 16 yrs old duaghter licing with me in jointFhome ex2 lives in his fathers huge mansion with my 12 yr old son
