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.

Hi I am new to this site and would like any input I can get !

Male aged 47, in the process of getting divorced, (petitioner), want to know , after the divorce is obtained
how long aprox if everyone acts reasonably, does the final settlement take to be agreed ? I am getting 50% of the proceeds of the house sale, in a couple of weeks and need to know if its a good/bad idea to reinvest it in a new house, and what would happen if ex wants more than 50% ? I have 2 kids 15/12 and the youngest one wants to come back and live with me when I get a perm home.

You should get a final order asap

Earliest time on or after D/N

I would buy a home as prices aren't increasing greatly

If she wants more than 50% Crt will only order if you can raise that maybe by a further advance -if you cannot then why would the Court award her that?
