I am trying to get my head round the financial split and what order things need to be done. Ex-h and I have roughly agreed a financial split. A lot of accounts and assets are still in both names. He basically does nothing unless I keep reminding him, so I need to get a lot of this sorted myself if we're going to get divorced in the next decade (even though he initiated it and has OW). I wondered if anyone could comment on whether I've got the timeline roughly right:
- Collect info on all assets and agree how we want to split them.
- Agree on child support (one child still at home and about to start 6th form).
- Do the preliminary splitting - move/register money/assets so they are no longer in joint names.
- Make sure each party is satisfied there has been full financial disclosure.
- Apply for conditional order/decree nisi.
- Get a solicitor to draft a consent order based on our financial agreement.
- Apply for consent order.
- Apply for pension splitting order - not sure if this is separate from the consent order?
- Apply for final order/decree absolute between 6 weeks and a year after the conditional order. Does everything in the consent order have to have been done first?
