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.

Hi my husband and i are divorcing - we have no children together but both have adult children to previous partners, the marraige lasted 7 years.

We have agreed a financial split (both of us used solicitors for advice)and we both completed a schedule of information (I think it was called that), detailing assets, debts CETV values of pensions etc.

The matrimonial home is sold and the proceeds are sat in my solicitors bank account.

We have agreed to share the proceeds from the house sale 50:50 . Then keep our respective pensions and share debts.

My pension £122K, his was only 16K, however the debts i have agreed to settle are $42K and he is settling £15K - he is also keeping £8500 in savings.

He is now cohabiting with a new partner and I am at home with my two 18 year old girls.

My question is - how likely is the judge to grant the court order without us having to attend in person?

If you both have solicitors and legal advice very likely.
