In 2011 I split with my civil partner at the time of entering this civil partnership my mental health was not good and basically she rushed the whole process through in about three weeks .about three years later the vulnerable adults team was alerted by a friend with concerns about basically my safety I was being finiancally ,mentally and physically abused . They was so concerned for my safety they didn’t even want me going home where she was but my dogs was there no way was I leaving them she had already took one out of spite and rehomed him not telling me where.
Anyway in 2011 I finally had her leave escorted out by the police she was told by the vulnerable adults team to go back to where she use to live about 300 miles away so they know I would be safe or they would make sure she never worked in care again. So that’s where she went .
Then in 2016 I inherited a large sum of money I saw a solicitor who told me she could make a claim as I didn’t have financial settlement.at the time I had no assets the house was a council house so there was nothing like money to settle.
Then last year I saw another solicitor on a different matter just mentioned my concerns to him he said if it had been seven years after we parted she couldn’t make a claim .so which solicitor is right?
The reason I’m asking now I’ve just seen her talking to my vile neighbour and looks like she is staying with someone down the road.
And knowing my neighbour he would tell her about me inheriting.
She can’t touch the house me and my brother inherited as that was put in a ltd company .but I brought my council house outright and still have money in my bank.
I want my sons to have my house and money when I die it’s in my will.
I couldn’t get divorced as soon as I wanted because her parents lied to the bailiff saying she wasn’t living there when the divorce papers sent her wasn’t returned.so the bailiff waited outside until her saw that she was living there and served another set of papers on her that’s when she signed and returned them once caught out.but it delayed the divorce .
So I have seemed legal advice but been told two different things.
And I’m very worried now that my vile neighbour has told her the same vile neighbour that when they found out made a false allegation that I had committed benefit fraud and reported I had inherited all this money and a house .luckily I had kept the benefits informed from the day I found out I was due to inherit .
So if anyone knows the laws or has been through a similar situation.
It’s basically family money that has been handed down through the family.
