Hi fellas
I am in desperate need of some advice please....
Ill try and keep this short.
Wife kicked me out for no reason in 2005. We had 2 children at the time ages 2 and 5 yrs old.
She stayed in the house and i have paid child maintence every month since.
We divorced in 2011 and i remarried in 2016.
Needless to say ... she wants everything!
At mediation... i offered for her to pay me 25k and i would sign house over. (House is worth 600k with only 10k mortgage left to pay). She said she would rather die than give me a penny.
So off to solicitors we went. She demanded to see my wifes bank statements. She wants half my pension and all of the house.
I also paid 80k off the mortgage back in 2010
She thinks that because she pays the mortgage with the money i give her every month that the house is legally hers
Anyway just had another shock. My son just turned 18 and is in his 2 year of collage...so i thought i could stop maintenance payments.... wrong. She is on the phone again demanding her money.
I just dont know where to turn. I am literally nearly bankrupt and she will notbstop till i have nothing and am in the gutter.
She has a bf living at the house and makes our son stay at collage in order to get her mpnthly benefits.
Our last solicitor hasnt pushed this much so i would appreciate some advice or recommemdations. Please
All the best guys,

hi,
i dont understand. you divorced in 2011, so why is this still going on till now?
Go and see a solicitor or barrister for advice . She won’t get all the house and she won’t get all your pension.
There’s no firm answer in finances as nothing is formulaic unlike child support .
My ex took over a year to come to an agreement with me . Nearly 18 months so it would
Have been a lot quicker and cheaper for me just to go to court . If you do , use a direct access barrister , solicitor will just fill in all the forms you can do yourself and charge through the nose just to send to barrister anyways ..
Hi, I’m being accused of domestic violence and recently attended court having been served with a non molestation order and occupation order by my partner. I submitted the same agajnst her and can honestly say I’ve been the victim of domestic violence and physical assault. I registered it with the police and they’ve done nothing , telling me the assault is time limited and 3 days over, when I fact it was 4 days within the six month timeline. Now I’ve got to go to a joint court hearing with no legal help, anyone know if I can get legal aid as I’m unemployed and now having to find money for rent
hi,
check if your eligible for legal aid here: https://www.gov.uk/check-legal-aid
also google search for: pro bono representation. don't want to advertise anything here.
