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.

Does a drafted D81 signal intent

Hello,

My husband and I agreed a 50/50 split and filled in a D81 which has been drafted up by solicitors and ready to sign. Husband has since changed his mind and we are now having financial mediation to see if he should get more than me. The question I have is that having made a previous agreement that is in writing does this signal "intent" of any kind. Can I use this to show that he was previously happy with the 50/50 arrangement?

Thanks in advance.

If you each had solicitors advice there may be an argument that there is a concluded agreement which is rather like accepting the terms of a contract. You could apply to the court for an order in the agreed terms.

However, before taking action you should seek advice as there are aspects which will have a bearing upon such an application e.g. where not all disclosure was made.
