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.

Hi,

I'm a Litigant in Person so am compiling the bundle.

I'm working on the chronology and issues to be determined.

I understand how to represent different opionions within the chronology but im struggling with the issues to be determind. How do we reach a consensus of what the issuse are when we dont agree? In the FDA my ex was claiming that whilst my inheritance was matrimonislised her inheritance wasn't as she was claiming I'd financially abused her. Since the FDA therea been s traumatic and upsetting police investigation which has found no case to answer. She's trying to now ignore what was said in the FDA and I'm trying to understand if she now believes both inheritances were matrimonislised?

She also claimed, in the FDA she needs to stay in the most expensive part of the most expensive city in the south because the children have extra needs. She's somehow managed to claim DLA with no diagnosis and no support from the children's school or GP. So I want to challenge that 'need' and she is claiming I'm 'pleading' my case.

Lastly, i have had disabilities all of my adult life and she claimed carers allowance throughout our marriage. She has ignored my actusl need for a small financial buffer of £10,000 as I'm unable to work the long hours that were required of me throughout our long marriage. In the last four years I've had bowel perforation, sepsis and stoma, bowel cancer scare and now lung problems. I see one of the issues to be determind as whether we can find agreement that I have a need for a small security net because of my disabilities and she doesn't see its relevance.

The inly matrimonial assets are our inheritances.

It's a needs based case.

Thank you!

You just need to list the issues that you have that you can’t agree on. You don’t need a long ramble of he says, she says. Just put the issue.
