Financial disclosure

[Black73]

My husband and i separated in June 2021, he claimed that he didn't know what he wanted and then took some time out to think things through. Fast forward to the present day - His mistress of two years found me to tell all. I discovered that he had been leading a double life for two years. The question I have is this... During the time that he was in this relationship, he spent thousands of pounds on her, which was essentially our joint money. I understand that as soon as we filed for divorce the money, he spends on whoever is his business, but for the two years that they were together it was our joint money, therefore my question is; do i have any claim on the money he has spent? Should he reimburse me at least half of the money he has spent on her?

You can see all his accounts at Companies House.

Do you own any part of the business?

Hello OP
I am going through something very similar to you at the moment and yes you can claim for things he’s been spending excessively on.
My solicitor calls them add backs and like you I think it’s worth doing, as your share of £20k is a lot of money if you’re going to have to buy a house, pay solicitor fees etc in the future.

10k is a lot of money and if your solicitor thinks you have a case then I would press for it to be included. Even if it costs that much in legal costs you are no worse off than you are now and you will have proved a point which you clearly want to do or you wouldn't have raised it on here.
Good luck OP.

Just wondering what the outcome was, did you mention the affair and spending thousands, I'm going through similar.
