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.

It is a short marriage and presumably no children? If that is the case then it''s usual for each party to take out what assets they brought in. So it''s pretty unlikely you''ll get anything from his house. If it''s been sold anyway then that gives you even less chance - really you should have registered your home rights with the Land Registry to prevent the sale.

But you may have a good chance at getting some "go away" money, maybe £5k? It depends on the figures really.
