Separating, can you do the finances and divorce later down the line?

[Mackers123]

I’m a bit green with all of this, but i am separating from H and we have a flat that’s rented which he would like sold to get half of that & then i buy him out of our home. He wants to half savings too. Can we do that ourselves and then just divorce without getting solicitors involved with the finance? Somebody mentioned a clean break order. Do we have to consider pensions too?

Yes you can do it later down the line, but you leave yourself open to either one of you spending all their money, or claiming half of your lottery winnings ...

You are best to use a solicitor to draft a clean break / consent order, which a judge has to ratify. You can reach that point yourselves without solicitors through forms and negotiation.

Yes you should definitely consider pensions. Wikivorce is a great site for advice. I presume you have no children, as their welfare is a huge consideration.

thank you. that’s correct no children. i will take a look at wikivorce x
