Financials

[MarkyB68]

Hi, just sounding out for some advice, my wife soon to be ex wife had an affair and after the initial anger and frustration over all the lies and sneakiness we talked and agreed that an online divorce would be best for a quick clean break, but I'm struggling with her version of what split we each get! She has said that she won't go after my pensions as long as I sign over the house which has over 300k equity in it...she has said she will pay me 30k ...I think I worked out the split would be 60% in her favour ...this seems unfair considering she was the one that caused the divorce in the first place? I want it over but at the same time I don't want to get rinsed as I need money to rebuild my life ...please any advice would be gratefully received...thanks

I highly doubt a solicitor would be able to properly review their circumstances and financial position and all of the supporting paperwork and provide proper advice in 30 minutes even if the OP did find one who did one of these free initial consultations, which are to give broad and general information usually.

The point being made was that 2-3 hours of work from a solicitor to review the financial and practical circumstances of their particular case thoroughly and provide an objective view on what a court is likely to consider to be a reasonable split of assets in these circumstances would cost several hundred pounds but obviously be more than worth it when the percentage division (and types of asset each party is allocated in that division) will result in outcomes that could be different by a large 5 figure sum of money, based on what the OP described.
