Some Advice Please On Easy DIY Divorce

bfd222,

You are getting some of the key terms a bit muddled. "Separation Consent Order" is a mix of two different things.

- A "Separation Agreement" is the agreement that can be done before divorce but you cannot guarantee that it will not be contested and changed when the divorce is later settled.

- A "consent order" is the legally binding agreement that settles financial claims on divorce

- Some "consent orders" are drafted such that there is no ongoing spousal maintenance element, these consent orders are sometimes referred to as "Clean Breaks".

Thanks Wikivorce. I got the term “Separation Consent Order” from Managed Divorce when I spoke to them on the phone.

What propose does a “Separation Agreement” serve if it can be contested at a later date?

Are they expensive and do they take a long time?

Dont know to be honest as didnt go that route - I think they are used when the situation is more complicated, and there is money and asset transfers involved - if you decide to go with wikivorce though they should be able to explain your best options

Hi Peter

Why not call our free helpline on 0808 2255 9454 and talk to someone who can advise you?

Just to add i used the service with no problems, 16 weeks from start to finish at a cost of less than 1k including the court applications costs and a consent order.

Thanks.

I have phoned about the service and also done some investigating myself as im always fairly scepitcal about online services. Pleased to say that i have ordered the top package.

Thanks for the help dukey
