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.

I think you can register an interest in the property via the Land Registry. Others on here know how you do this.

Assuming your are NOT divorced you can protect matrimonial home rights
Advice leaflet here:

That needs to be done asap as H cannot sell without your agreement then. As an example you then might insist that say 50% of the net proceeds are place on deposit pending divorce financial proceedings.

As H can remove the restriction once Decree Absolute it is safer to Issue Divorce then Form A and register a different type of restriction as H property will be in issue in the proceedings.
