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.

General rule for short marriages (even though yours wasn't even a marriage) is that the parties take out what they brought into the marriage, splitting any profits or losses incurred during the course of the marriage.


Unless you have been co-habiting a long time, I would apply the same methodology. Bring nothing in, take nothing out.

Best of luck

The "marriage" was dissolved from the day of its inception and one solicitor I asked said she could claim next to nothing.
But her solicitor is applying for my home and to support her.
They seem to be dragging this out just to run up a bigger solicitor’s bill.
I have a legal wife and child to support
