Didn’t realise how much I didn’t know…
My ex and I had agreed everything between us so I thought the paperwork would be the easy bit, it really wasn't. I actually logged on out of curiosity more than anything and that's when I realised divorce and the financial settlement are two completely separate processes. I had no idea. I wasn’t aware of the consent order and what happens if you don't get one sorted. I also didn't know there's a specific window to apply, after the conditional order but before the final order, and that if you miss it things get a lot more complicated. That was a bit of a wake up call honestly. The Amicable Execution Plan was the first thing that actually made sense of it all. It laid out every document I needed to gather, the steps to work through in the right order, and the mistakes people commonly make, that bit alone probably saved me from getting things sent back by the court. The D81 was the bit I'd been most nervous about but it almost did itself, you work through it, it handles the numbers, and before I knew it I was court-ready pdf. Genuinely didn't expect to feel this on top of it. Really glad I found this.
