Introduction
This Video Series is a quick way to understand how financial settlements really work, learn about parenting matters, and see where to go next in reaching a settlement.
The Lessons are presented in plain language - not legalese - by people you can relate to. You can watch them on your PC, laptop, tablet or phone. You can expand them to full screen if you wish. Watch them whenever you like. The pages are not listed on our public website, but you can get back here simply by clicking the link in the email you received to enter. |
There are 3 groups of videos. The first two relate to financial settlements, while the third one is about parenting.
You don't have to watch them all at once. But do watch them in order, because each one builds on the previous one. When you've watched the video lessons, make sure you then go to the "What's Next?" page for some guidance on how you can use the knowledge you've gained to help reach a settlement with your former partner. |
Not Legal Advice
Before you start, it's important that you understand these lessons are general, not specific to your situation. The lessons describe generally what happens in settlements, and the most likely outcomes for different kinds of separating couples.
The lessons are most certainly not legal advice. That's because we don't have any information about you, and we are not lawyers and we can't tell you what your theoretical best case is if you go to Court.
But you will find the information gives you a clearer picture of the processes and usual outcomes.
