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.


Do you need help sorting out a fair financial settlement?

Our consultant service offers expert advice and support to help you reach agreement on a fair financial settlement quickly, and for less than a quarter of the cost of using a traditional high street solicitor.

Write directly to your ex and his solicitors - no need to have your solicitor write and incur costs. Inform them that you you intend to pass on details of the alleged fraud to the police and they should contact you immediately to explain why you should not. This is not a domestic dispute, this is criminal conduct.

Thank you Reddit
It''s starting to feel as though I am completely out of my depth here
As more and more fraudulent accounts/signatures are emerging my sol
seems to be getting quite stressed it''s as if she doesn''t have a clue anymore than I do
I knew he was acting very strangely very aggressive towards me and the kids.
At the time I was living in a remote part of Spain I didn''t drive then & the nearest bank was 30km away nor did I have Internet access as the only computer was his and it was password protected
If he doesn''t reappear and we go to the next hearing a FDR at the end of this month what do you think the Judge will say?
Will she say ''tough'' or does she have the authority to ask someone to find him?
I know it sounds very odd indeed
Anymore sound advise greatly appreciated:silly:

I agree with Redditt.From what you say he has committed criminal offences,probably much more than you know,so I would think it''s no longer Family Law involved.The Police probably will need to be informed to stop things escalating.Are you now back in the UK and is this now his place of residence?

I definitely agree with the others. You should not be spending your time, money and emotional energy on what is clearly now criminal fraud. I think by the scale of it he''ll be in big trouble. It''s amazing the lengths some people will go to to swindle their spouse.

Thank you guys am totally alone with this, up until this afternoon that is
Yes I am back in the UK now
Sadly I''m a massive wimp when it comes to stbx
Been though all the Child Court thing 2 years ago now
He wanted residence of middle son didn''t want little girl or troublesome teenager though :angry:
Then because I was happy for first time in 16 years, I left the divorce/finances till now wish I hadn''t bothered brought it all back to me tbh
It''s odd but I find it hurtful that whilst we were married still with another miserable 16 months to go he was doing all of this.
I have complained to the large high street bank (who have enough of their
own problems atm )
It has gone to their complaints department they have said that to transfer
such large sums over and over again 300k one would have had to go into a branch, that a query would have arisen to do all this on-line, so he must have gone to the nearest branch in Javier
What dressed as a woman?!
He''s 6.2 and smells
If I do go to the police aren''t they going to say it''s a civil matter?
Hell hath no fury etc etc
One point which is really pathetic of me, in all of this, what is upsetting the most is that he made me and eldest son homeless.
Eldest son slept rough for 3 weeks my stbx knew this, eldest son lost 3 stone in weight. he has never paid any maintenence for him only the minimum for the youngest 2 (Ltd company)
Yet he donates £240 pa to the NSPCC
I digress isn''t this a civil matter?
Thank you so much xxx

Hi Rosieapple,
My just read your post and thought I was reading about myself.
Firstly, My ex did all the "jiggery Pokery" as your ex falsely selling shares at undervalue, resigning as Director setting up up LLP@''s and other Ltd companies to filter money through. Money laundering, etc etc etc.
The problem you have is a case like this is so complex it will cost a fortune to unravel it through the family courts. As you said something like this is way out of a lot of family solicitors understanding and experience.
I too thought I would just hand it all over to the police. I thought better of it as I thought by the time HMRC and everyone else had their share (They always come first) there would be nothing left for me and the children.
Interestly I asked my barrister who had been 30 yrs at the bar when fraud had so obviously been committed what do judges do. He said only once had he come across a judge that had suggesting the Inland Revenue and police be notified. Unbelievable.!
If these monies are over seas you will have an uphill struggle courts dont like fishing expeditions. You would need a forensic accountants report to make some headway but it all takes time and as I said huge sums of money.
Sorry to sound negative but if your ex is determined and beligerant he could drag this out for years.
I am not sure what will happen in his absence at court but if his solicitor has any sense he should report him as he is an officer of the court and his primary duty is to the court not to his client.
please keep us posted.
Good Luck
