What does the law say about how to split the house, how to share pensions and other assets, and how much maintenance is payable.
The four basic steps to reaching an agreement on divorce finances are: disclosure, getting advice, negotiating and implementing a Consent Order.
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.
When by consent you can split the cost anyway you both agree, usually its half each, i know of no protocol to suggest the holder pay 70%?.
Some scheme rules allow the sharing cost to be deducted from the actual pension though that could be costly long term.
Its one of those rock and a hard place problems, is it worth risking the broad agreement falling apart over a relatively small amount of money.
