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.

Just wondering if someone is written to by the lsc and asked to answer questions about their funding, should they be worried? They have been given 14 days to answer.

I had lots of letters from the legal aid asking different questions. I had to loan monies from my sisters to help me survive, and this was classed as an income by the legal aid, even though it has to be paid back out of my settlement. I thought it was a delaying tactic by the legal aid, as it took months for mine to be granted and I ran up a large privately funded solicitors bill whilst in the process of claiming legal aid which again, has to be paid out of my settlement.
