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.

Sniffer cat,

Im confused on one detail....does you ex and his wife have all 8 kids??

But regardless..... i can see no reason to delay applying now for ancillary relief to get a finalised financial settlement.

In fact if you remarry before you claim Ancillary Relief then you could lose your rights.

If he does indeed care for all 8 kids then yes you may have to wait until 4th one is 18 before you get your cash from the house... but the ruling about how much you will get can be made now.

DO NOT DELAY


Put in a claim now for Ancillary Relief!!
