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.

AFAIK she would be able to get her own state pension based on his contributions.
Are his SERPs in a personal pension scheme?
These may be counted as part of the marital pot - but if he is already receiving the cash, it would be income and not lump sum.

The pensions are only part of the picture. How the finances are divided would depend on a range of factors - including ages, incomes, length of marriage, value of assets etc.
