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.

prior to my marriage 18 months ago I owned my house for a number of yeasrs. My ex partner moved in but did not and has contribute to mortgage. She was in rented accomodation before moving in. She is now refusing to leave my home.

Is there anything I can do to evict her

I don''t know legally where you stand on this. Marriage normally makes assetts become marital assetts and would therefore go into the pot.

However on such a short marriage this may make a difference, plus you haven''t mentioned any children, so I am presuming not. I would have thought that a judge may favour the fact you previously owned the property, it is in your name and she has not made any contributions.

With regards to asking her to leave... I''m afraid I don''t know where you stand on this.

Maybe one of the more legal wiki''s could answer you better.
