I've got a first Financial coming up.soon. I dont want to post too much public. However I'm divorcing due to financial abuse , control. All I want is my share of property and I want to leave and buy somewhere else in another area. The house is owned outright. I dont want to sound niave but what happens in a financial. It's to cut all ties . Do I have to proove the DA . I'm dreading it.

The abuse doesn’t any settlement so you need to ‘prove’ it.

they’ll look at the assets available and each parties needs, encourage you to negotiate to reach agreement and advise what they think a fair outcome might look like

Sorry I dont understand.
Basically he's been financially controlling I've handed my bank statements in however throughout the marriage he's controlled money. I dont even know what he earned. Got us in debt , never paid bills etc. All can be prooved. He won't negotiate. He hasn't event submitted his banking information.

First of all you need to state which country you are in as laws are different even within the UK.

England and Wales have no fault divorce now so you don't need to prove DA or financial control (which is what pp is referring to).

You hand over all your finance documents to your solicitor, he does the same. If he doesn't then your solicitor applies to the court/judge to enforce his compliance.

As above

a court could force disclosure if he doesn’t cooperate. But you wont get a higher settlement due to fault or abuse

do you have a solicitor?
