What are we each entitled to in our divorce settlement?

What does the law say about how to split the house, how to share pensions and other assets, and how much maintenance is payable.

What steps can we take to reach a fair agreement?

The four basic steps to reaching an agreement on divorce finances are: disclosure, getting advice, negotiating and implementing a Consent Order.

What is a Consent Order and why do we need one?

A Consent Order is a legally binding document that finalises a divorcing couple's agreement on property, pensions and other assets.

I am 59. Married officially ten yrs. Physically separated 8yrs due to his alcoholism. But co-habited amicably for 8yrs. Elderly mother living with us. 3yrs ago in a drunken rage he wanted me out. House had just been sold. Becus of this Domestic abuse .I found temp accommodation. I've been in temp accommodation (7 moves) 7 addresses over 3yrs. He moved house with her months later.. He didn't like my ideas of locations to move to. Which is why he disposed of me. They were only ideas I shared. . He moved and then called me. I visited and reconsiled amicably to be able to see her. She is now in a nursing home. He has been living off of her money. We have LPA. Her pot is now empty. He has changed the locks on the house I had a key. On moving he put himself on the deeds with her. He thinks he has it all sown up. Her and I are out. This man has no consequences for his actions. Drinking himself now into an early grave. We have wills. Please can someone advise me. ReebyLee

He has abused his LPA..yes. Completely financially wiped her out. She is his mum. My question is..What are my rights. What action could I take. He is just doing whatever he decides without reprocussions. His mother and I are Salts of the Earth. He has all of the power. Advice needed.. thankyou

Did you resume the marriage? Have either of you started divorce proceedings?
I am pretty sure you can report his abuse of the power of attorney. If you jointly hold it you may be able to apply for it to be lifted. Is his mother aware of what's been going on? I think you may need to talk to CAB about this.
If you divorce, you will need a financial settlement. All of the assets are considered. If he is joint owner with his mother, this would be a factor to be considered as he stands to benefit on her demise.
