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.

hi i need some help/advice.

House sold in March 2012, equity held with conveyance solicitors. they have now sent a letter because they do not want to hold money any longer - they are not a bank.

First appointment - 11th October 2012.

Any suggestions. i have no contact with ex and have had to go to court as he will not agree any settlement. i have been separated for 21 months.

Conveyance solicitor have agreed to hold until First appointment. Do i bring this up with judge??

If your conveyancing solicitor won''t hold the money any longer, then you have to find another '' home '' for it.

So, yes, definitely bring it up at FA unles you have reached some agreement in the interim.

Thanks for that.

Finding home not a problem but ex will have to agree. He refuses to respond to anything.
