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.

My ex has said he doesn't want to do solicitors/courts etc, and his idea of sorting things out is that I allow him time to save some money, then for him to spend those savings on some house improvements, and then we split the property 60/40 in my favour. I'm not at all convinced that is the best course of action for me.

I am going to try to persuade my ex to do the Wikivorce Legal Advice on Financial Settlement Service that's on this site

Of course the questionnaire will ask him a lot of financial information he probably won't want to share with me - I think this will be a major reason for him not happily agreeing to do this


Just wondering therefore:
- do we both have sight of each other's fully completed questionnaires at this stage
- can they be submitted separately
- do the full details appear in the final legal report.


I'm guessing the answers are yes, but just checking really...

Hi

You can each submit the information individually if necessary, but ideally the client using the service should have full sight of the others disclosure. It won't be possible for him to keep those details completely private from you as disclosure is required so that you each have a full overview of the "pot" before you can consider making or accepting proposals.

You or he are welcome to call the helpline when it reopens on Tuesday morning to ask questions or discuss further.
