In the meantime she could rent a room out perhaps, maybe cover some of her outgoings?

Fuck all that. Threads and posts like that remind me of why Im single and long may that remain. The scramble to get money and assets, the unpleasantness, the lawyers getting well paid out of the misery of others. Bollocks to all that.karen7 said:BoyBlue_1985 said:Why is he paying you maintenance?karen7 said:She needs the best lawyer she can afford
My ex tried to get me to sell the house but my lady lawyer ended up with him signing his half of the house over to me and paying me maintanance
If has has a hint of guilt for cheating she may end up better than she thinks
Was,a long time ago now
He wanted me to agree to the maximum seperation time before i could apply for divorce,that was 2 years,in return my solicitor said well you will have to agree to pay me maintanance every month for those 2 years and sign his half of the house over to me not thinking he would ever agree to that but he did
He spent those 2 yrs pestering me to get back together,he had already blown his 2nd chance getting back with the women he cheated on me with despite
begging for the second chance that i gave him, so i waited the 2 yrs then
divorced him,he paid all my costs
The moral of the story is get a good brief,ask for everything and see what
happens

More a case of Arsehole Judges refusing to hand out warrants once you get somewhere like the Caymans or South America imo.Blue silk said:Your friend has got a choice, 2sheikhs.
If they were married, and are now divorced, she is entitled to what is known as a Financial Remedy. That is basically an order ordering him to pay her a lump sum, to pay her maintenance or transfer property to her, or a share of his pension. What (if anything) she gets will depend on what the judge deciding the case decides is fair, if they can't agree it themselves.
The first step in the process once a claim for a financial remedy has been made is to fill in a financial statement. This is a lengthy form provided by the court (you can download it) requiring you to set out all your financial circumstances.
He has to fill one in too. The court provides a timetable indicating the date by which this has to be done.
You have to provide a large number of documents in support of this financial statement. The important thing to note is that part of those documents is a years' worth of bank statements. So if he has in fact been stashing money with his mates, it is usually quite easy to tell that from looking at his bank statements.
If there is proper evidence that this is what he has been doing, the court can take into account when it decides whether she should have a lump sum, maintenance a transfer of his property or a share of his pension. It may be that he has been doing it so long your friend can persuade a court that he should provide more bank statements,for instance going back another two or three years before the one year he has provided.
There are some very very sophisticated fraudsters who manage to hide their money in such a way that even highly trained forensic accountants cannot find it.

Fuck him more like,we were married 15 yrs and he went off with one of my friends.I was the main breadwinner for several years and put much more into the house than he did
He asked for a fight and got one,he shouldn't have picked a shit lawyer or made me wait 2 yrs to get free of him,serves him right
I haven't and won't get married again
Her son lives with her, so she needs a 2 bed place. She's not being greedy. She just wants a one off lump sum and he can have the house. He'll then own an appreciating asset and she'd have a decent deposit for a new place. He can easily afford this. She doesn't want maintenance or anything like that.metalblue said:In the meantime she could rent a room out perhaps, maybe cover some of her outgoings?

Good on you, neither will I. The idea of marriage and all that is great, but if, and if course it is only an if, it goes wrong, it more often than not ends up very unpleasant with the only real winners being lawyers. I didnt have one out of prinicple, the way I saw it the money wasnt going to be in my pocket and I would rather it ended up in my exes than end up going towards some solicitors new BMW. I wasnt having a pop btw Karen, at your situation or anything like that, just the whole thing in general. Glad it worked out
ok for you

And this is why the trend is for men not to get married now.
Who can blame them?
