Ex husband worth a million and offered me only £7000 financial claim

Hi all,

I made a financial claim against my ex husband and he offered me £5000 and he is worth almost a million. Is this suppose to be a joke.

we were married for 7 years I was not working at the time so he pay for everything whilst I look after the house, no children involved in the marriage. Is that all I get because I didn’t contribute financially? It’s been 3years since the divorce, he has put in so much lies about me towards his statement. I’m going to decline the offer.

can I just decline or ask for a reasonable amount?

Looking at the threads on advanced search, it can be concluded that they seem to be researching different topics for some purpose ?

Yes I did an advanced search on her name and some very strange posts, she says she can’t afford a solicitor but seems to have gone away recently to America and Disneyland paris, various boyfriends one post she broke up with a guy after 3 months then another post she has had a boyfriend for 1 year. Love the one asking how much do people maturbate. Also another one saying she went to university 18 years ago. And has been working for the Same employee for the past 8 years. She seems to be man mad asking about workplace relationships. Very strange.

She was a stay at home wife - first, and mother - second.
She was lucky to be able to have children, so she became a mother.
She stopped working before the wedding, she didn't even know if she could have children or not.

I know of people who weren't that lucky and couldn't have children.

They are only stay at home wives, they didn't have the priviledge to be mothers.

I have a friend whose husband is infertile. She has chosen to stay by his side and not be a mother, instead of dumping him and hitching a fertile husband.

Some of you here are nasty bits of people. I wonder if you apply the rules to yourselves.

By the way, a person who looks after children in their houses is a nanny, like me, it is a profession, you do it for a wage. You get taxes paid, retirement, a job, a career, etc.

I hope that you are not saying that if you are married your husband grants you the right to not have a job, a profession, an income, professional financial and personal indepence, just to use you in bed and as free cleaning, cooking and childcare services.

That is not what you are saying, right?

Your second to last paragraph makes no sense!

What did you contribute, and why three years later do you beleive you are due a substantial amount? No children, short marriage, and you were a student. You didn't contribute financially, I wouldn't assume you'd be entitled to much.

Interesting thread.
And some people remain confused why marriage rates are at an all time low...

A lot of you are judgemental:

this guy verbally and physically abuse me throughout the relationship. So you expect me to stay forever with torture?

he treated me with so much disrespect and humiliation throughout the marriage and relationship, he’s 20 years older than me I was 18 ( I had no family just me living by myself with no one looking out or guiding me. I was isolated) when we met, I was young stupid and naive. This was 17 years ago. He would constantly rape me, physically beat me. No one in his family respected me, I was cleaning cooking and his mum refer to me as the maid of the house.

when we got divorced I was aware I can make financial claim against him, got no legal advice or nothing.

for me it’s not about the money is the way I was treated like a trash and nothing!!

I have a good job so I can maintain myself but that’s not the point here. Why was I treated like that?

I'm really sorry to hear about all of this, but I wouldn't expect that you'd get financial compensation for it - you would report it to the police and they would decide if there were grounds for a criminal prosecution.
