If you are initiating the divorce process, you must complete a divorce petition where you correctly specify your reasons (grounds) for divorcing. Failing to get this part right could cost you money, such as if your spouse accuses you of being unfair with the grounds you have chosen.
You must try to mediate between each other before making an application to Court. In a divorce, you could be entitled to various financial provisions – including:
Maintenance payments
Pension orders
A lump sum
Property orders, like the right to continue living in the family home
However, the forms of financial relief or assistance available to you will depend on the specific circumstances of your divorce case.
