If her solicitor says that the company is worth 83k, hand it over to the ex in lieu of 83 months' worth of 1k payments.
Then start a new company.

Do everything possible before resorting to Solicitors. Make a better offer even if it grates, you'll still end up better off.
Best of luck.

And what they do is done in secret.
The focus is on the lawyers, then the women, then the kids, then the man.
And women expect support for equality in the workplace.....

No kids (luckily) but being the higher earner is sounding more like it's going to get me screwed badly, to the point where I just wouldn't want to risk going through it again. In my case we've already split assets of £80k equally but given that we earn quite different amounts she wanted an additional £50k lump sum. My generosity topped out at £30k so we failed at mediation and now got to see what the solicitors think... the fun and games begins!

The children(up to 18) do need to come first.
You made a huge mistake of going this alone without a solicitor. All solicitors are effectively PAYG. Did her solicitor advise you to get your own solicitor? If not, they are in the poo.
I did the finances without a solicitor - including representing myself in court - but then I had an incredible McKenzie friend.
Go and get a solicitor. Do not contact her solicitor yourself again.
Did you not do any research first? http://forums.contractoruk.com/gener...following.html
Though there have been plenty of warnings about marriage since 2002 when f4j bought it to the world's attention.
Just to be clear - if you are a man - DO NOT GET MARRIED. DO NOT HAVE CHILDREN.
There again, happiness and contentment are over-rated.....

Even if the kid isn't disabled sorting out and paying for childcare for the few hours after school is a PITTA. (Presuming the workplace is also happy you turn up around 10am.) Then there are school holidays to manage. If there are no nearby family/close friends' then you are fecked.
In short until the kid is in secondary school and can prove they aren't a danger to themselves - and this depends on the individual kid - they need an adult or a sensible older teenager around.
You are always polite. Unlike me.....
