Can anyone shed some light on what I need to do regarding my will? At present my will would state all my monies would go to ex. Do i need to change this or do this get done automatically when partners split.

We were never married but have 2 small children.

She had many affairs.

Thanks TEIN.

I have had to do this, will is invalidated after Absolute, but as you are not married this does not count, therefore probably best to do a new one.
Can be expensive @ Solicitors, you can get Law Society approved forms @ reasonable price from Lawpack on internet, they come with full instructions.
It may be worth doing generic Power of Attoney and Lasting Power of Attoney @ same time, in favour of an adult that you trust, I assume children are under age of majority.
I hope this helps.
