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.

You can come and go as you please providing no court orders against you doing so

How long since left could make a difference in court

Don't know your story, which may have a bearing on things but on the whole you are allowed to come and go as you please as it is still your house.

Saying that, your x2b and children still live there and as such is their home. They need to feel that they are safe and secure in their home.

Without knowing a bit of background it is hard to pass comment. How would you feel if your x2b could let themselves into where you are now living and have a nose around when ever they felt like it?

You don't say why you want to return to the house. If it is to collect belongings it would be common courtesy to just phone and say you are coming to collect some belongings. Trying to remain amicable in all this is the way to go if at all possible.

Depending on how old your children are, I also think it may be confusing for them if you come and go as and when as they may not understand what you are doing. They need to understand that you don't live there anymore.

I hope my comments have given you food for thought.

Regards, Sarah
