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 stbx is retiring two months after fda hearing. He claims he's in bad health. He has a wealth of expensive tools. Are these counted as an asset which can be sold to realise their value? He is a sole trader not limited company. He may say he still has to work to beyond retirement so needs them. But then the opposit.

If he is claiming his income will reduce then I would argue the point.
He is either retiring and the tools can be sold or his income to be taken into account is remaining as it is.

How much are the tools worth and is there a ready market available for them second hand?
