He has got it ok. He has the kids and therefore will keep the house for the foreseeable future. If he hasn't got divorce papers served yet, get the money out of his accounts pronto into cash at mates family etc.
Then cancel her credit cards and if she's working get the CSA involved.

Bored woman + massive equity in house + big-earner hubby + vampiric solicitor + her Mum always hated man anyway = ££££££ for woman + F.A. for man.

Secondly most women can be bloody vindictave when they want to be and when a relationship breaks up the vindictiveness is bound to show.

I told her however, that if she was going to play silly devils, she should remember that I can pay myself minimum wage and pay dividends to family members who may wish to invest in my company. That could mean that I decide to go via the CSA route and any maintainence based on my earnings could be pretty low. Nothing illegal and whilst possibly morally dubious, no worse than what she was after. We managed to sort things amicably (or as amicably as possible in the circumstances).

She's a woman so it's only fair she gets the lions share of everything and an income for the rest of her life. I mean she obviously gave up a promising carrerr to have and look after children FFS. She could have been a multi millionaire by now. With this in mind I predict a large payout to her for the rest of her life and a free house to live in.

From experience, when it comes to assets, no account of blame is considered. My ex decided to have an affair and then wanted a divorce. She kept my daughter and I was advised that I may end up with nothing if it went to court despite her infidelity being the cause of the divorce and me being the only money earner.
Thankfully we came to an agreement but the main thing is to make sure that the children do not suffer. It is an awful time but there is light at the end of tunnel and make sure that you are there for your brother and the children. He may not ask for support but he sure as heck will need it and appreciate it.

Surely the courts would have to favour your brother when it comes to the crunch, after all she is the one who walked out.
Good Luck!
