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.

Don't apologise, pleased to oblige. 
In England & Wales the length of marriage before breakup is open to interpretation. Anything up to about 10 years might be considered short, 20 years or more long. Recently the courts have been prepared to treat a period of pre-marital cohabitation as part of the overall duration of the marriage if the couple have moved seamlessly from living together into marriage.
