Negotiation 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 Negotiation Service is for couples who need help agreeing and have simple circumstances or assets.

You have simple assets if you do not have any of the following: more than two properties, a business, assets abroad, or total assets over £2M. If this doesn’t apply to you, please use our Negotiation Plus Service.

For parents, we also offer a Separating with Children Service.
