Friend of mine is just leaving her partner and is concerned where she is financially
Their marriage ended in divorce 20 years ago , however there was never a settlement as they sorted it out themselves
They then seem to have patched things up and lived as a couple for the last 20 years until she has decided to kick him out
He owns a flat with a small mortgage left on it and she has a house in her name which is a half finished project
She has asked me for advice about cost of finishing it which would be over £100k
He has been abusive and foul throughout their time together and I dont think he will go quietly
Flat worth circa £175k and the house in its current state £375k , he has made no contribution financially to her two kids in the last 20 years and has not put any cash into the partnership other than his time working on the house
She has a meeting with a solicitor first week in January
Has anyone heard of anything similar and what was the outcome ?
He is a real piece of work
