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.

Im not sure on how things stand at the moment with the changes in law on cohabiting, but going from what my nice went through all she got was £4000 and this was from a house that was fairly new and worth 120 it cost her just as much to take it to court near on, any reason she wants out? If she has left then I would make her an afforadble offer if refused then let her take the court action. if she goes through a soliciter they will of course be bullying but dont be phased by it, take you time and come back to ask question there is nearly always some here that can give you help some how, First though go to CAB and see if they have got the latest on cohabiting, I would advise you go early as it get very crowded mine opens at 10-12 and is packed by 11 all interviews run through after the doors close, so find out your opening hours and get there before the doors open.
