      Thanks

      1- What is a CAB (apologies for being thick)
      2- My other half is the company's secretary, but she doesn't know anything about its finances, official share she owns is 2 and each for £1. Anyhow I only have around 15 K there, the bitch has drained me with demands, so I still need to shut it down? I haven't been contracting for long, so quite naiive

      3- I am in the middle of a really good contract, I don't really want to quit it, and I think they'll be able to renew many times, what do you think? Do I have to quit to appear unemployed?

          oh, and is it best to find a local solicitor, or it doesn't matter as long as they are good?

                  What's the worst that could happen? Sounds like she's going to screw him anyway.

                  I'd get my parents to set up a company and invoice me for "consultancy" to take the money out of the business sharpish.

                    As soon as the money hits your limited co. get it moved to somewhere that she can't touch it.

                    Why do you need to be unemployed?

                    If she's not too savy about the business, can you not just get her to sign the shares over to someone else, and then fire her? That's what Ian Beale did in Eastenders when he was getting divorced.
