HE WONT LEAVE !!!

[notnotnee]

Hi
I want to end my 3.5 year marriage but he wont leave. It was my house before we met (although we did move to another house 2 years in) but all paid for by myself and solely in my name. Can anyone offer advice on how to get him to leave. Our marriage has never really been very good. Lots of rows and him storming off. It was so bad that he even rented a flat for 15 months but then gave it up as things appeared to be going OK. He says he wants 16K but I don't think he is entitled to that much. Any advice would be much appreciated.

16k total to pay him off, get him out of your home and out of your life is an absolute bargain. Pay it before he changes his mind

1. 50/50 is the starting point as you are married BUT as someone said above if it is a short marriage (including a period of living together before) and if there are no children adn if he has not given up a career for the marriage - lots of ifs so you can see why we all need more information to advise.... then it may instead be a case of putting him back to where he started and nto 50/50.

1. A consent order is a financial agreement you should reach before you obtain a decree absolute which is then sealed by the court. In your case presumably you won't want to pay him on going maintenance as well his 50.50 split (my ex got more than 50% by the way as I earn more) so you want that consent order to be what is called a clean break. If you cannot agree it then the judge decides the amount and that is then put in a court financial order. It is that document which finalises your divorce finances and stops him coming back for more money years later as long as it is a clean break settlement.
