amicable agreement checker

Separation is an emotional journey with legal and financial consequences. Explore our free tools and resources that help with all aspects of separation.

We’ve designed the amicable services to help you to make agreements about your finances with minimum fuss and maximum amicability. If you want your financial agreement to be legally binding, you will need the court to approve your settlement. This is called having a consent order, and it will often have a ‘clean break’ clause so that neither of you can make claims against each other in the future. The court must believe that your agreement is fair to approve your consent order and make it legally binding. The court won’t sign off your order, just because you both want it.
‍
If you have made an agreement together then you can use our amicable agreement checker below to see whether you have factored in the things the court will look at when deciding whether your order is fair in the eyes of the law and whether to approve your consent order.

I have told my partner about all the assets and debts in my name (savings, investments, vehicles, money, property, pension, income, business interests) - I have included everything, irrespective of whether we are sharing certain assets

My partner has told me about all the assets and debts in their name (savings, investments, vehicles, money, property, pension, income, business interests) - they have included everything, irrespective of whether we are sharing certain assets

We agree on the value of the assets, debts, pensions, and income we have told each other about, and have provided evidence of valuations where required including 'Cash Equivalent Transfer Values' (CETVs) for each pension we hold

Our settlement means our children have a secure home

Our settlement ensures we both have a home to live in and if we are purchasing, we have considered our respective mortgage capacities and how this affects what we can afford to purchase.

We have calculated our net (after tax) monthly incomes to include income from all sources such as rental income, benefits, or any maintenance either of us receives

Our settlement ensures we both have enough money to live on each month

Our settlement has considered when our children will spend time with each of us, and who will pay for what for our children

Our settlement recognises that pensions are marital assets to be shared between us to ensure we both have income in retirement - especially if we have been married a long time

We have considered what we will each be eligible to claim by way of State Pension

Overall, we are happy that our settlement meets both our needs for housing, income now and income in retirement and that any children of the family have been prioritised
