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.

I was a Litigant in Person in a British Overseas Territory. I had to travel there. So I have travel expenses and the travel took, actually, more than 48 hours in total. Am I entitled to some compensation for the travel time?

Compensation from who? If you mean from the Court, no - there is no compensation.

If you mean compensation in the form of a costs order in your favour - it's not a hard 'no' but it is most unlikely. It depends upon the circumstances of your case.
