When it comes to a divorce, deciding on the facts you wish to use, agreeing contact and custody arrangements for your children and starting a new life in a new home are just a few of the difficulties people face. None of these, though, are quite as problematic as the need to divide property, pensions, savings and other assets.

This task is often made harder than it needs to be. People are naturally protective of the fruits of their labour and defend their rights to it vociferously as a result. Divorcees also often wrongly assume that all of their assets need to be divided equally with this leading to them restarting negotiations through fear of their agreed division not being approved by a judge.

In reality, there is no need for a couple to ensure that their assets are divided equally before the courts will approve of their agreement and make it binding. Indeed, provided a judge is satisfied that the parties understand what they’ve agreed to, it’s more than likely that they’ll approve it.

By having a Consent Order (more commonly referred to as a Clean Break Order) that describes the agreement reached between two spouses prepared by a professional, the agreement will be approved. So, who should get what in a divorce settlement?

What you should really consider when negotiating

As you can see, there’s no need to split everything equally. Indeed, neither party is automatically entitled to anything and an agreement of any kind can be submitted to court and approved by a judge.

What this means is that, rather than focussing on what you believe you’re entitled to when negotiating, you should instead consider what you reasonably need. If both parties are able to do this, they can effectively formulate the ‘spine’ of an agreement that will provide them with the resources they require. Following both parties knowing that their agreement addresses their basic needs, they can begin the process of dividing what remains between them.

Whilst having a basic agreement that will meet the parties’ needs will not make this part of the process straightforward, it will make it easier. As the couples’ basic needs are already in hand the process is certain to be less stressful, which will help both parties to remain dispassionate and be more reasoned throughout negotiations.

If you and your spouse have agreed on how you intend to divide your assets and would prefer to avoid expensive solicitors, Quickie Divorce can manage your divorce and prepare your Consent Order for you. Simply click on the link to find out more.

Have you recently filed for a divorce and paid the full filing fee only to later discover that you’re eligible to a remission? Don’t worry – you can claim it back, and the process is very straightforward; the only caveat being that you’ll need to claim it back within three months of you having paid it.

In order to reclaim your fees, you’re going to need to complete and submit a form known as and EX160 along with payslips, bank statements (these can also be used to provide proof of you having paid the court fee) and, if you’re self-employed, your most recent tax return. As you’ll already have filed for a divorce, you’ll need to ensure that the relevant section of this form references the case number your application has been assigned. You’ll be able to find this on any piece of correspondence you’ve received from the court. In the event that the court have not yet contacted you, you can call them directly in order to query this and also ask them to provide the number required. Whilst it’s unlikely that it will take the courts as much as three months to get this information to you, we’d recommend you contact them if you haven’t received this information within one month of you having filed for your divorce as a precautionary measure.

Why it’s worth reclaiming fees

As obvious as it may seem, it really is worth following this process and recovering your fees. People often have a tendency to assume that the refund they’ll receive will be relatively small when, with the exception of the UK’s highest earners, the actual figure ismore than likely going to be far from insignificant.

Provided you had less than £3,000 in savings and earnt less than £5,085 before tax (£5,245 if you live with a partner (you’ll need to include their income) plus an additional £245 for every child that lives with you and was under 18 years-of-age) when you filed for your divorce, you’ll be entitled to a discount. The further your monthly income is from this figure, the greater your discount.

In order to work out the refund you’ll receive, you’ll first need to work out a base figure. This starts at £1,085 (again, this increases to £1,245 if you live with your partner) plus an additional £245 for each dependent child that lives with you. Once you have this figure, you should deduct it from your monthly income, then round the resulting figure down to the nearest ten and divide it by two. This is the court fee you should have paid.

So, if you brought home £1,800 each month before tax and lived alone with your two children aged 15 and 12, you’d use the following formula:

£1,800 minus £1,575 = £225 (rounded down to £220 divided by 2 = £110)

This means that this individual would be entitled to a refund of £440 – a substantial figure, we’re sure you’ll agree.

If you’ve been researching divorce in England and Wales, you may have already come across one particularly bad piece of news: you’ll need to pay a fee to the court – and it can be as much as £550! There is some good news, however: it’s possible you won’t need to pay the full fee. Indeed, you may not need to pay it at all!

In order to be entitled to a reduction in these fees you’ll need to have less than £3,000 in savings or investments. This rises to £10,000 if you, or your current partner (not your spouse) are 61 or older.

Then, you’ll need to be receiving one of several state benefits or will have to be earning below a certain amount in order to be entitled to a reduction:

List of benefits:

If you receive one of the following benefits, you won’t need to pay the full £550 when filing for a divorce:

• income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA)
• income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
• Income Support
• Universal Credit (and you earn less than £6,000 a year)
• Pension Credit (Guarantee Credit)

Sadly, as the Ministry of Justice no longer confirms how much applicants will need to pay in accordance with their circumstances, we cannot confirm how much you will need to pay if you’re in receipt of one. Previously, though, applicants in receipt of any of these benefits (with the exception of Universal Credit which was not available at the time) were exempt from paying the court fee altogether and we’d assume that this is still the case.

Monthly income:

If you do not receive any of the benefits listed above, you can have the fee waived entirely if your monthly earnings, before tax, are below a certain amount.

If you earn less than £1,085 a month before tax, you’ll be entitled to help with these fees. This figure increases to £1,245 if you live with a partner (though you’ll also need to include their monthly income in your earnings) and by £245 for each dependent child you have. For example, if you lived with your partner and your three dependent children, you would not need to pay any court fees if your monthly earnings before tax were less than £1,980 each month.

If you earn more:

In the event that you earn more than this, you will still be able to have your court fee reduced if you earn less than £5,085 each month. Again, this figure increases to £5,245 if you live with a partner and by £245 for each dependent child that lives with you.

You can then determine how much you’ll need to pay by taking your actual monthly income, deducting the flat rate mentioned in the previous section (i.e. £1,085, £1,245 if living with a partner etc.) from your monthly income, rounding the resulting figure down to the nearest £10 (i.e. £246 would become £240) and then dividing this by two.

So, if you lived without a partner and two children and earnt £2,300 per month before tax, you’d use the following formula:

£2,300 minus £1,575 = £725 (rounded down to £720 and divided by 2) = £360

What you’ll need to do

If you think you’re entitled to help with the court fees for divorce, you’ll need to complete an ex160 form (which you can download from here) and send this to the court along with your Divorce Petition. The courts will then contact you and confirm the fee you’ll need to pay.

‘How do you get divorced?’ is one the most common divorce-related queries typed into search engines with hundreds of people looking it up every day. As a result, we thought we’d answer it and dispel a few common myths in the process.

You go through a legal process

In order for a married couple to become divorced, a formal request must be submitted to the court. Whilst it is possible for one spouse to obtain a divorce without the other’s knowledge (specifically when they have no knowledge of their spouse’s current whereabouts in spite of them having tried to locate them) but it is not possible for a divorce to be obtained without the relevant legal processes having been observed; ever.

It is surprisingly common for people to assume that they and their spouse are automatically divorce following them having been separated for five years or more. This, however, is simply untrue and, when you think about it, the reason why becomes obvious: how could a divorce be issued when the institution that grants them were unaware of the fact that the couple had separated? It just wouldn’t make sense.

The legal process is almost exclusively correspondence-based

Again, many people presume that they’ll need to stand before a judge and inform them of why they believe they should be granted a divorce. Instead, the process is moved along via the completion and submission of documentation (unless it’s contested, that is).

In terms of dividing assets, this too is usually dealt with via paperwork as most couples agree a settlement out of court. They may both find themselves before a judge if they’re unable to, but this is technically separate to the divorce process and it is in fact possible to obtain a divorce without an agreement being in place – it’s just not something we or anyone in the know would recommend.

You also don’t need to agree arrangements for your children

This is one that surprises many people but, whilst we’d strongly advise people to agree any new childcare arrangements before filing for a divorce, the courts no longer even enquire as to whether there are any children who will be affected by the divorce, let alone whether arrangements are in place for them.

Previously, the courts would check the arrangements divorcing parents had in place and would prevent them from separating if they believed that they were not adequate but this stopped several years ago.

You can get divorced without spending a penny

It may be unlikely (and, again, it’s not something we’d recommend) but if you’re happy to complete the forms yourself and you’re entitled to a full fee remission (this is dependent upon your earnings, savings and any benefits you may receive) then you can get divorced without spending a penny.

As we’ve said, we wouldn’t recommend this, though. The courts can be very pernickety and, if there’s a mistake on any of the documentation (and this is more common than you might think) then you’ll be required to pay an amendment fee each time you submit new documents. This fee is in excess of £100 and cannot be waived meaning that pursuing a free divorce can very quickly become a false economy.

Couples that choose to spend more on their weddings are more likely to divorce than those that opt for a more frugal day, a study has revealed.

The research was conducted by economics professors Francis-Tan and Hugo M Mialon who studied the information of 3,000 married or previously married couples located in the United States. They discovered that there was a direct relationship between the amount a couple spent on their wedding and an increased likelihood of them going on to divorce.

In terms of raw figures, couples that spent more than $20,000 on their wedding were 1.6 times more likely to divorce than couples that spent between $5,000 and $10,000. Couples that spent less than $1,000 on their wedding also reported divorce rates that were significantly lower than the national average.

Researchers also observed a correlation between the cost of an engagement ring and the length of the ensuing marriage: the more expensive the ring, the shorter the marriage. Interestingly, though, the opposite was true of honeymoons: the more a couple spent on their post-wedding holiday, the more likely it was that their marriage would last.

On top of this, the study also revealed that the likelihood of a couple divorcing increased significantly when a large number of guests attended their big day. Couples who had more than 200 guests at their wedding were 92% more likely to get divorced when compared to the national average.

Are couples compensating?

The study’s authors put forward several potential explanations for this trend – from increased financial pressure caused by debt resulting in stress and an unhappy marriage to the possibility of more affluent individuals finding the prospect of divorce to be less dauting due to them possessing sufficient resources. The explanation that we at Quickie Divorce believe to be most likely, however, is that the couple in question are more concerned about their wedding than their marriage.

Ultimately, the money a couple spend on a wedding is for their guests rather than for the couple themselves and lavish spending could suggest that they are more concerned with impressing others than they are caring for one another. The fact that the likelihood of a couple divorcing increases when a large number of guests attends their wedding but decreases when they spend more on their honeymoon – with their first holiday as a married couple being more centred on the couple themselves – supports this argument.

Modern life, it would seem, is bereft of pitfalls that consistently afflict us all: we eat too much sugar and fat; we spend too much time on our electronic devices; we don’t get enough exercise; we work too hard and so on. Correct or not, the general consensus seems to suggest that our lifestyle choices are persistently having an adverse effect on our quality of life and that, by making a few positive changes we’d all enjoy better health, be more productive and even find it easier to maintain relationships. This has led some married couples to take drastic action.

One of the most common arguments put forward with regards to our ‘unhealthy’ modern lifestyles is that we don’t get enough sleep. In response, numerous married couples are opting to sleep in separate rooms, with such couples being colloquially deemed to have had a ‘sleep divorce’. It’s a trend that’s so popular that a 2010 study conducted by The National Sleep Foundation found that almost a quarter of married American couples opted to sleep in separate rooms. But will this benefit couples that’re unhappy with their marriages?

Naturally, a better night’s sleep is not going to resolve a rift brought about by infidelity or dishonesty. Nor, for that matter, is it likely to help with disagreements over money, extended family or how to raise children. If sharing a bed is having a negative impact on one or both party’s sleeping patterns, however, then it’s entirely possible that sleeping in separate beds will help both get a good night’s sleep. This, in turn, should result in both being happier and this should positively impact on their relationship.

As we’ve alluded to previously, however, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to claim that this is little more than a solution to a very specific problem. It’s also feasible that consistently failing to get enough sleep could negatively affect a marriage, however, and that, as getting more sleep should result in the parties being happier and healthier, this should go a long way towards resolving any marital discord that may be present

On the other hand, sleeping in separate rooms can bring significant stigma (many will view it as a separation) although this isn’t going to a problem if you keep the arrangements private. Logistics can also prove to be an issue if the family home doesn’t have a spare room. This can be overcome by having two separate beds in the same room, but this all but negates any possibility of keeping the arrangement private.

Ultimately, the likelihood of a sleep divorce having a positive effect on a relationship is something that is best determined by a couple themselves.

Our homes are nigh-on always our most valuable and vital possession. As a result, when a couple separates, should one spouse remain in the matrimonial home, they’re often overly keen to protect it from their husband/wife. As a result, Quickie Divorce are frequently asked whether or not the remaining party can change the property’s locks and prevent their spouse from returning. The short answer is no, but there’s more to it than that. We’ll begin by discussing the reasons why you simply cannot immediately change the locks and prevent your spouse from accessing the matrimonial home.

The first thing to note is that matrimonial homes are generally held in joint names. As a result, should one party opt to change the locks, the other party is well within their rights to hire a locksmith in order to regain access to the property. In the unlikely event that the property is held in only one spouse’s name then, whether it is owned or rented, they still have a reasonable claim to access if they have lived there previously, though they’ll have to seek a court order.

If you do want to change the locks, you’ll need to obtain sole ownership of the property and get your spouse to forego any right they may have to it beforehand. The most logical way to do this is to arrive at an agreement with your spouse and then finalise this via a consent order which you can file with the court either after you’ve obtained a separation agreement or after you’ve filed for divorce and have received your Decree Nisi. Once such an agreement has been reached, however, it’s unlikely that you’ll deem it necessary to change the locks as, due to the agreement, your spouse will have foregone any claim they have to the property and could, if necessary, be held in contempt of court if they refused to return their keys to you as a result.

If there has been domestic violence

If you’ve been the victim of domestic violence and you believe your spouse represents a threat to you, your children, or anyone else that lives at the property, then you can obtain an Occupation Order from the courts. Such an order states which spouse has the right to reside in the family home and can, if the courts deem it necessary, include a provision designed to keep the offending party away from the home by affording the police power of arrest if the order is breached.

If you are a victim of domestic violence, you may be entitled to Legal Aid and help with your legal fees. Click here to find out how to contact your local Citizens Advice Bureau for more information.

When you become a parent, your world changes in the most fundamental way imaginable. You’re no longer inclined to prioritise your needs above those of all others; any desire to be irresponsible melts into the ether; you become dedicated to one purpose and will prioritise it over all others: ensuring that your children are cared for and are always presented with the best opportunities possible. It’s for this very reason that, when parents decided to get divorced, they want to know how to protect their children from its potentially harmful effects. The first thing to note is that whilst you’ll no doubt want to know how the fact that you and your spouse have children will affect you divorce application, we can emphatically state that it will have no influence on the process at all. The courts previously asked that all divorce applications be submitted along with forms that specify the arrangements in place for any children under the age of 18, but this is no longer the case. Instead, couples are expected to agree arrangements between them or, if they are unable to do so, file a request for residence or contact accordingly (either of which would be completely separate from a divorce application). So, provided both spouses agree to the divorce, the easiest way for them to get a divorce is simply to use a service like Quickie Divorce. That said, there are a few things we think all divorcing parents should do in order to help their children cope with the changes the end of their marriage will bring: Tell them you’re getting divorced together When you tell your children that you’re getting divorced, you’re going to need to comfort them, let them know that their parents still love them and that you’ll both be there for them whenever they need you to be. For obvious reasons, they’re significantly less likely to feel reassured if you talk to them separately. Let them know your plans Letting your children know your plans regarding contact will help to allay a lot of their concerns. If nothing else, it’ll reinforce the fact that you still want them to have a relationship with both of you. If the children are old enough, you could instead involve them in the planning itself. By doing this, you’ll not only help create a plan that works around your children’s schedules, but by providing them with the opportunity to exert some control over their situation will also help allay any concerns they may have about the changes the divorce will bring. Remain approachable Your children are going to have questions and it’s important that you let them know that they can talk to you at any time as a result. As we all know, when our situation changes, we regularly think of things we’d like to know at the most random times so make sure you’re available whenever possible. Stay civil After your divorce has been finalised, you’ll still need to talk to your spouse from time-to-time. Make the effort to be civil (particularly when your children are around) and you’ll find that this relationship is not only easier to maintain but that your children are happier too.

Just over a week ago, it was reported that infamous former glamour model Katie Price intended to divorce her current husband, Kieran Hayler, due to adultery. This is not something that we would deem worthy of a blog post (celebrity divorces are common tabloid, after all), but something about this story made it stand out: Katie wants a £300 online Quickie Divorce… and Kieran refused. Now, having read that you may well assume that we’d be advocating Katie’s choice; that the couple should sign up with us and start the process of ending their marriage quickly, affordable and with a minimum of fuss today. We aren’t, though, and it’s because Kieran’s reasons for refusing one are thoroughly sensible and exemplify an approach we – and that any responsible online divorce provider should – advocate. Reports on the story have indicated that Kieran has refused to consider this route as he believes that he and Katie should consider their positions carefully and ensure they have a sensible plan in place before proceeding and this is a mature considered course of action. Before any couple opts to enlist the services of an online divorce provider, it is essential that they iron out the details beforehand. The first thing they must agree – arguably the most important thing as they’ll be unable to pursue an online divorce without it – is that they both consent to the divorce. This, though, is the easy part. The difficult agreements revolve around issues that are far more contentious such as how to divide properties, savings and pensions – as well as new childcare arrangements. Arriving at an agreement can take months or even years of negotiations and, as it’s best to formalise these and make them legally binding before the divorce itself is finalised, it’s essential that everything is agreed before the divorce process begins. Failing to do so could significantly delay the process or, in the worst-case scenario, could prevent the divorce from going through altogether, leaving the parties to cancel proceedings and start again at a later date following an agreement having been reached. Ultimately, whilst we would advocate that any couple that have agreed on all of these contentious issues beforehand utilise a service like that offered by Quickie Divorce in order to save themselves money and enjoy a more streamlined, straightforward process, it’s absolutely essential that each and every aspect of their agreement is clearly defined beforehand. If you and your spouse have reached an agreement, Quickie Divorce can help you to get a fast, simple and affordable divorce. Get in touch with us today.

When a couple decide to divorce, it’s vitally important that the assets they have jointly accumulated as a couple are distributed amongst them in such a way as to ensure that both parties are left with the resources they require to begin their new lives. Often, however, it is the need to agree an equitable and reasonable division of these assets that – along with childcare arrangements – is most likely to result in the type of disagreement that can prolong proceedings – possibly for several years. Sometimes, these disputes are completely justified; the negotiations in question revolving around large assets to which both parties have a reasonable claim. At other times, negotiations become protracted – and vast sums of money are wasted – because one or even both parties cannot agree something trivial. With this in mind, we thought we’d help people doing their own divorces to, we hope, successfully negotiate agreements that will help them to achieve financial stability post-divorce. We believe the key to doing this lies in ensuring that you pay close attention to the following three assets: Property The family home is likely to be the most valuable asset owned by a couple and it’s absolutely essential that both receive a reasonable portion of its value within any divorce settlement as a result. Often, one party will remain in the matrimonial home whilst the other is ‘bought out’. Such arrangements are perfectly fine provided the fee paid to the leaving party both reflects the properties true value and, if this fee is not to be issued in a lump sum, that the initial payment is enough to pay for a deposit on a new home. If the couple are lucky enough to own more than own more than one property, it can be easier to simply divide their portfolio provided doing so results in both parties being left with collections of properties that are of roughly equal monetary value. Pensions The money that one or both parties have saved for their retirements is another vital asset and, ultimately, both party’s respective ‘pots’ should be comparable following negotiations having concluded. In some instances, both parties will have similar provisions but, more often than not, there is some if not considerable discrepancy. In such instances, should this discrepancy remain, one party will be significantly prejudiced following their retirement so it’s essential that any settlement addresses this. Savings Like pensions, the savings that a couple have accrued throughout the course of their marriage should, ideally, be distributed evenly if possible in order to place both spouses on the right financial path following their marriage having legally ended. The Caveat Whilst an entirely equal division of assets would, to most of us, seem like a fair deal, it’s important to remember that the main reason you’re negotiating a settlement is to meet your needs, not necessarily to ensure that you get your hands on your fair share of your joint assets. So, if possible, compromise. It may be hard to swallow but prolonged negotiations could actually bring about a situation where the majority of your joint assets are wasted on legal fees. In other words, during negotiations stay focused on what you’ll need, not what you deserve. If you’ve reached an agreement and are looking to keep the costs of your divorce down, you can get a divorce and make your agreement legally binding with a Clean Break Divorce from Quickie Divorce.

When both you and your spouse want a divorce but you’ve not yet been living separately for two years and neither of you have committed adultery, then one of you will have to rely on the others unreasonable behaviour. As difficult as many assume this will be (and wait until the aforementioned two-year period has passed as a result) the actual technical definition of unreasonable behaviour is one that is very open. Indeed, as we’ve discussed previously, most negative behaviour will fulfil the relevant criteria. Provided that it satisfies rules regarding timescales, that is. Any behaviour relied upon in a divorce petition must have taken place within the six-month period that preceded the date on which the couple separated. To put it another way, if you and your spouse attended a mutual friend’s party on the 16th April 2018 and they proceeded to become heavily intoxicated before behaving lewdly and embarrassing you then, whilst there would be little doubt that their behaviour would be considered unreasonable, it would only be an acceptable example if the couple separated before the 16th October 2018. This can be problematic as, whilst we all behave unreasonably from time-to-time, it’s highly unlikely that four similar incidents will have taken place within the six-month period that came before a couple separated. Fortunately, there’s a simple and effective solution. Use ongoing behaviour instead The best way around this is simply to cite examples of behaviour that were ongoing instead. Using the fictional incident discussed above as an example, the reason would read: Throughout the last year of the marriage until the date of separation, the Respondent would regularly become heavily intoxicated at social gatherings, with this resulting in him speaking to others in a rude and abrasive manner. The Petitioner regularly informed the Respondent that this left her feeling embarrassed, but the Respondent’s behaviour did not change. As you can see, instead of referencing a single incident, the example above instead discusses a pattern of behaviour. This can be done for multiple common examples such as failing to communicate effectively, withholding affection, spending excessive amounts of time on electronic devices or refusing to socialise. Just remember to strengthen any example you provide by stating that you informed the Respondent of how this behaviour made you feel and that they failed to take action.

With wages having been depressed for more than a decade now, people are regularly looking to save money wherever possible – divorces included.

Long deemed to be the exclusive preserve of the legal professional, Divorce Petitions and other documents needed to dissolve a marriage are regularly being completed and submitted to the courts by everyone from builders to supermarket employees. But what costs are they likely to accrue and what is the likelihood of their application succeeding?

In terms of costs, the filing fee for divorce is £550 though it is possible to have this reduced or possibly even waived completely. Provided an application is completely free of errors and the divorce is straightforward, this should be the only fee anyone is required to pay. As I’m sure you can imagine, however, mistakes are commonplace and can have significant financial ramifications.

Firstly, there are fees in excess of £100 to submit amended documents and, believe us, errors are far more common than you may think, particularly when it comes to providing information concerning marriage certificates. It’s also not unheard of for uncontested divorces to become contested as a result of the Respondent deciding that they’re no longer willing to admit to adultery. In the worst case, this can prevent the divorce from proceeding with the court fee being wasted as a result.

Additionally, extra costs may be accrued if the Respondent does not return documentation to the court but their spouse has filed on one of the grounds where consent is not technically required (unreasonable behaviour or five-year separation). Under these circumstances, the applicant can pay for a bailiff to attend the Respondent’s home and deliver the relevant documentation for a cost of £40 and the divorce will be able to proceed as normal.

All of these potential costs pale in comparison to those you could face if you fail to obtain a formal and legally binding order finalising the division of your and your spouse’s joint assets, however. By filing a Consent Order before or within six months of a divorce being finalised, divorcees can make any agreement regarding the division of assets legally binding and prevent either party from making a claim against the other in the future. If this order is not obtained, a claim can be brought at any time and either spouse could find themselves needing to pay out a vast sum of money to the other at any time.

Whilst many assume that a divorce will completely dissolve the monetary ties that exist between spouses, this is simply not the case and the important of obtaining a Consent Order cannot be understated as a result.
