Financial agreement post divorce

[allthegoodnameshadgone]

I got divorced last year and we didn't make a financial agreement as we only had a house between us. Nothing else. No joint loans. No shares etc. House has since gone.

Someone today has said to me that as we haven't made a financial agreement that he can now still come after me for things and vice versa ie if I won the lottery etc

Is this true? Aibu in saying it can't be surely?

You need legal advice and a clean break agreement.

Yes it is true. The reverse is also true.

Thank you. Guess I need to see a solicitor then.

I know for a fact he has one loan that he took out in his name before we were married.

Could he now come after me to pay this with him?
If so, could I just refuse or what?

What about debt he has accrued since we divorced/split up in his name only?

I wouldn't be libable for this would I?

Technically yes, but he would have to take you to court and prove that it was although in his name a joint loan which you both benefited from.

Unless you are on extremely bad terms or have recently won the lottery I probably wouldn't worry.

No I haven't lol I'd have to go down the anonymity route if I did!

We are at the moment on quite bad terms.

I am thinking more along the lines of when I re marry.

Would he then be able to make a claim on anything joint that I own with my partner, if we bought a house together or if my partner had shared etc?

Clean break agreement OP. It’s not costly and could save you lots of potential headaches in future

Yes in theory - he could certainly tie you up in court and usually you have to pay your own costs win or lose. Try to negotiate a clean-break no-claims-either-way agreement which the court would readily approve. Of course if the following week he wins the lottery you might be kicking yourself!

Great.
I will research clean break agreements later and see a solicitor

Someone always has the answer on here
