Assisted Divorce and Consent Order Service

If you’ve separated from your partner, you’ll need to work out how you plan on separating your finances. This includes dividing any money, property, pensions, and debt.

You will also need to go through the legal steps to get divorced and make your financial arrangements legally binding through a consent order to end the possibility of future claims (a ‘clean break’).

Our Assisted Divorce and Consent Order Service is designed for couples who have reached total agreement on how to divide their finances.
