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.

I have my Decree Nisi and have applied for Ancilliary Relief. Have been given a court date for the FDA but my x2b says he will not fill in form E, engage a solicitor or even attend court. Anyone advise me on what will happen if he continues to refuse to engage in these proceedings? This is all new to me so any advise would be gratefully received!

I think that if he refuses to engage the court will require him to do so.

I don't know the circumstances, of course, but it's quite possible that he's unable to cope with the situation and so hoping that if he refuses to co-operate it will all go away. My own ex seems to be behaving rather like this, being very slow about forms and returning his solicitor's calls, though I am pretty sure that he will co-operate with the court timetable once it starts.
