I''ve bought her out, can she still take more?

My Wife and I separated 10 months ago and i bought her out of our house. This was done through a solicitor and i have documents that state that the agreement is final.

I would like to get divorced asap but she wishes to wait for 2 years because she is embarrassed about why we separated.

My worry is that she is a very vindictive person and if i upset her she will try to take more. I have already given her all i have and can not afford a costly legal battle.

We have no children and were only married for less than 2 years.

The other complication is that i wanted a divorce on the grounds of unreasonable behaviour, but i now understand that you cant use that after 6 months of separation.

I am tempted to lie and tell her i have met someone, so that we can divorce on the grounds of adultery, but again, i am worried she will try to take more.

Any advice you can provide would be very much appreciated.

Regards,
A

Hold that thought

Do you really think this is a good idea if as you say you are dealing with a vindictive person ?

Thanks guys, if only it was simple.

THe reason that she wants to wait is that she is embarrassed that people will find out that she treated me like c&$p. She does not want to take any responsibility for the divorce and so waiting 2 years allows her to state no reasons.

You can offer to let her divorce you based on an agreement that she will not claim anything else. I mentioned this to someone else and it worked in their case. You don''t care from what you said as getting out is more important for you, right? Again agreement must be in place between you two. she can then walk away with her pride and you with your freedom. The courts always like a quick solution, well as long as there are no other assets.

Yes, exactly. I have suggested that she blames me, and i have said i''ll pay the fees, but she has now thrown in this 6 month rule that i was not aware of.

To be honest, i think she is doing it because it is the opposite of what i want.

This has all been a very expensive, upsetting, and stressful mistake.

Grrrr
