Hi,
just wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation. My husband and I married last year and he has been trying to achieve a clean break. He and ex wife thought they had effectively severed any ties when they divorced. I believe they did the divorce a few years back without a solicitor.
husband pays child maintenance without fail for one child at £500 per month. Whilst ex initially agreed to sign a clean break she has had a change of heart and is doing everything to bring me into the proceedings as she wants me to contribute to her finances . The ex worked when they were together they have one child. She lives with new partner with another child she pays no bills he pays everything and spent her money from the house on cosmetic surgeries (10k) holidays and adding an extension to her new partners house. She now says that because my husband married me he can afford to give her £2k a month. She also says she needs more money in case she wants to leave her new partner. Her solicitor wants all my bank accounts and details of my income. I’ve refused but know I will be ordered to disclose this. It seems so unfair that I work flat out full time at the cost of missing out on my own three children to pay for someone to sit at home all day who fit to work.
Grateful for anyone’s similar experiences. This is causing so much stress and upset. I do not want my private details all out in the open and I do not want to be part of this court case. Incidentally my husband and I do not have joint accounts. We merely split household bills 50/50 and that’s it. This was because he had obligations to his child and I have my 3 children from a previous relationship.
