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.

Hello donny lad

Your wife can apply alot depends on how much you both earn, the idea is that payment or payments are made to help her adjust to being single again.
If she earns enough to look after herself then it will probably not be granted.
If it is granted how much and how long depends on many factors it can be given for life.
You would need to post more details to get a more defined answer.
