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.

If there is a Clean Break financial remedy order in place would that prevent an ex-spouse/partner from being their pension beneficiary (who was unwittingly named) if they died before drawing the pension.

Nominations of beneficiaries are not binding on the trustees so if the pension holder did die they would probably want some evidence that this was still what they wanted before they died.

If the nomination was dated before the divorce it would seem unlikely that they would allow it.
