did i get a bad deal

Hi. I am going to give you the general outcome of my recent divorce in the london family court, see if you think I was hard done by.
Money and assets split 60/40 in my ex wifes favour.
Pension split 60/40 in my favour.
child maintenance at CSA rates.
£500 per month joint life order to my ex.
Total legal fees between the 2 parties approx £140,000

I am thinking of contesting this, what do you think.

Thanks for any comments

no one can comment constructively without fuller information about what assets and liabilities there were to divide.

what was the house worth
what is your salary
what is hers
and what are your ages?

From what I hear London LOVES to give joint lives

cash 550,000 euros
one property with £110,000 equity
one property with £70,000 equity
pension fund of £220,000

thats about it. kids aged 14 and 8 years
Its the joint life order that gets me.
we were married for 14 years. my ex is 35 years old, i am 43 years old.

I earn £120,000 p.a. my ex earns £30,000 pa.

thanks for the comments

I personally think a joint lives order seems a bit steep, is the Maintenance RPI linked? Will it end on her remarriage?

I dont think you got a very good deal
Both me and my ex are 42
I earn a wee bit more than you, she earns 6K
we have 3 kids (she got 200K from house sale)just under 1/2 my pension

My SM is 5K a year for 12 years (or youngest turns 18) with a bar

the joint lives order ends on her getting re married. it isn''t RPI linked, looks like I won on that one.

glad the general consensus is that I didn''t do so well.

maybe I''ll give it a year and revisit the sitch.can''t afford it right now, mind you my lawyer has a brand new audi R8 lol
