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.

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.

Dependent children under 18 are the priority, but over 18s in education are a consideration too. It isn''t unreasonable for over 18s to be provided with a base even if they are living in away from home during term time. That doesn''t mean the former matrimonial home has to be kept for them if it is more than adequate to provide a base, and can be sold to release equity so both parents can purchase somewhere to live.
