But, apparently, in a minority of cases, things can be argued in court which is what i'm trying to avoid. We have to give full and frank disclosure of finances and i'm concerned that seeing a nice war chest will spur her on for a long drawn out and expensive fight only for both of us to walk out with a big legal bill which will probably be the size of said war chest.Comment

My advice would be to try and find out what she wants (in £££) to walk away, give her it and get on with your life.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

Originally posted by alreadypacked View PostThe contract we signed, when the house was sold I would get the 20% of value as I invested 20%. The bank was paid, then the balance was split 50 - 50.
As it turned out this meant he got all the money he paid in back, but no profit. He saw all the money I got as profit.
What he didn't see was, if I had not put the money down and got the loan, we would be renting and he would have got none of his money back.
But he was very sweet about ending things, I went to stay with a friend for a few days (we were fighting too much) he changed the locks. Then he moved his new gf and her 2 kids in, class.
Lucky I didn't marry him.
Nice move, I can see why you might be a little angry with him.
As you say lucky escape.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

The 1989 Children Act corrected this - but was ignored by the family courts.
Things are getting better now - mostly due to younger judges with a higher percentage of women. Its the older judges, composed mostly of men, who are the issue.
The younger ones understand that women don't just look after kids - they work too.Comment

Except to wind up the twins that is! Occasionally I hurl a volley of insults about her while the twins are listening. They get upset. I laugh at them. Suckers!Comment

BFH to me is the large hill at Ipsden between Wallingford and Reading. Attempted it on Saturday with a pannier full of text books and failed. Embarrassingly, an older gentleman jogged past me pushing my bike.Comment
