To start the process, you will need to provide the following information which we capture through our online questionnaire:

• Address, mortgage provider and no. and equity held in each property
• Name and value of business interests
• Total savings and investments
• Total liabilities (not mortgage debt)
• The total total cash equivalent transfer value (CETV) of pensions and name, account no. and CETV of individual pensions that you plan to share
• Monthly income broken down into income from employment, benefits, child maintenance payments, pension or other sources.
• Any prior agreements or settlements made with your ex-partner and your planned financial settlement

Yes, our service handles the entire process from start to finish. We manage all documentation, court submissions, and communications, ensuring that everything is completed accurately and efficiently.

In most cases, you will not need to attend court for the consent order to be approved. Our team handles all court communications and submissions on your behalf, making the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. You will only need to attend court if the court is not satisfied that your consent order is fair. If for example, one party was being bought out of their share of the former family home for less than market value the court would question the fairness of the agreement.
