A woman sitting calmly at a desk, organising her paperwork
  • The asset that is often worth more than the family home — and stays invisible unless somebody asks
  • Why an agreement written between the two of you may not do what you think it does
  • How simply holding the paperwork quietly controls the pace of everything
  • The honest monthly figure to work out before anyone asks you what you need

If any of this sounds familiar

You are not behind. You have simply not been given the information yet.

  • He seems to already know how this is going to go, and you don't.
  • You've never seen a pension statement, and you're not sure how to ask.
  • The paperwork lives on his laptop, in his email, in his name.
  • You've been told to 'get a solicitor' — with no idea what that costs or what to bring.
  • You keep being asked what you want, and you don't yet know enough to answer.

None of that means anything has gone wrong. It usually means one person has been closer to the money and the admin for years. The fastest way to level that is not to argue — it is to write everything down, in one place, before the first conversation that counts.

Why the preparation matters

Family solicitors in England and Wales commonly charge £200–£400 an hour.

That meter runs at exactly the same rate whether they are giving you hard-won expertise or waiting while you look for last year's P60. Every document already gathered, every question already written down, is an hour you never have to buy.

Arriving unprepared

Hours spent gathering paperwork at £200–£400 each.

Arriving organised

The same hour spent on advice you can actually use.

The difference

Clarity, and a great deal less money.

Who writes this

Plain-English preparation material, written for England and Wales.

We build preparation resources for people going through separation and divorce. Our work is drawn from published guidance, official England and Wales resources and the questions we are asked most often. It is designed to help you get organised and informed before you spend money on professional time.

We are not a law firm and nothing here is legal advice. We do not tell you what you are entitled to, predict outcomes, or replace a solicitor — we help you walk into that conversation prepared, with your questions written down and your paperwork in order.

Common questions

Is the guide really free?

Yes. There is no card, no trial and nothing to pay. Answer the questions and the guide opens on the next page.

Why do you ask questions first?

So the guide points you at the parts that actually apply to you — whether that's pensions, the house, children or simply not knowing where to start.

Is this legal advice?

No. It is educational information for England and Wales. It helps you prepare and ask better questions; it does not replace advice from a solicitor about your own situation.

What happens to my details?

They are stored privately, used to send you your guide and occasional preparation guidance, and never shared or sold. You can unsubscribe at any time.
