Well done. So the bottom line is that you get to keep the lot?

So was the 'bankruptcy' real or another rouse? If its true, then she's landed herself a real prize! Maybe there was some connection between this and the 'gone away' address business. Perhaps she didn't want it all registered at her address??

I am back to court with your husband's long lost soul mate next week! :) :) He's been ordered back in! :) :) :) :) I await news of his imminent bankruptcy, relationship breakdown, job loss, house move (yaaawwnnn!!) xxx

Weebirdie · 26/03/2015 19:40

*Fluffy the house being in joint names meant that if MrWT declared bankruptcy it would have been seized and sold to pay his debts, thus leaving MrsC homeless. To avoid this the house has been awarded to MrsC so any creditors can not claim on the house as he no longer has any interest in it.

He claimed bankruptcy to avoid having to pay MrsC anything (probably a plan cooked up by Pauline) and it had the exact opposite effect because the judge awarded her everything*

thank you for that Bogey, I didn't understand either.

And I certainly missed the fact Pauline is skint and not loaded.

Oh my fecking word Shock

That is amaaaazing! I have just been giggling away reading the updates (WWK, you really should consider this book of your letters, you really do have a way with words), pulling plenty of shocked faces and finding myself in AWE of your fabulous result! I agree with a PP that maybe the autism struck a nerve with the judge. Whichever way, the fact you have been awarded the house to prevent you and the kids ending up homeless through his potential bankruptcy, is nothing short of the most wonderful result!

Absolutely made up for you! Enjoy the much deserved flow of wine/gin/piña coladas, but more importantly, life! Your new life where you can focus on your children, enjoy this great friendship you seem to have forged with WWK, and be yourself! Well done, I wish the both of you a fantastic future!

What I missed, however, is whether you are also officially divorced now?

PrimalLass · 26/03/2015 20:10

Yeeeeeeee-haaaaa Grin

So very pleased. Well done ladies, you are amazing.

Get writing that book.

Didactylos · 26/03/2015 20:36

this is amazing, I am so glad that this horrible mans attempts to lie and manipulate things have backfired so spectacularly, and you have the security of your house and pension
enjoy your night and pineapple
another lurker who cant stop grinning Grin

Hobbitwife001 · 26/03/2015 20:56

What an amazing outcome for you MrsC, so proud of you and the lovely and very impressive WWK, I think I have something in my eye :)

NailItToTheCounterLordFerguson · 26/03/2015 21:10
Shock Grin

Oh my, that is wonderful news. I hope you and WWK are relaxing and having a giggle tonight Wine Thanks

Mummymoanasaurus · 26/03/2015 21:21

Delurked & re registered to say well done, am so pleased for you. Have followed your story from the beginning and that of WWK. You have both shown amazing strength and fortitude. Enjoy your celebrations, very much deserved!!

TheFormidableMrsC · 26/03/2015 22:12

Hi everybody, firstly can I say how absolutely touched to the core I am that you have all been waiting in anticipation of this today and indeed all the lurkers and everybody who have posted hugely supportive messages.

Without my lovely friend WWK, the outcome would have been a lot different, I had lost my confidence in my abilities, have been struck dreadfully with grief recently and have struggled to see an end to this saga. Thankfully, we had the most amazing Judge who clearly had experience with autistic children and could see straight through Pauline and Mr WT. I would say that they looked a bit smug leaving court, clearly having absolutely no idea of the realities of the order made and while I was happy to hand Pauline her disclosure back, I KNOW, I know that when my husband made the decision to leave us because he wanted somebody else to give him the lifestyle he thought he deserved, he's actually ended up with somebody on the verge of bankruptcy. When she met started an affair with my husband, she needed somebody to pay the bills, he does, and continues to do so. She looked a bit smug today because she is as thick as him!

So, we have achieved the virtually impossible ie : walking away with the entire assets of the marriage. It was WWK the pineapple who DID this...she will say otherwise, but I will always be in her debt. We are both at the end of four bottles of wine, hence I am probably a bit incoherent! However, to say I owe her, would be an understatement. We are not at the "end" yet...a way to go in terms of fuckwittery..and indeed the actual "divorce" but tonight I can go to bed and say that we are sleeping in DS's house...because it's his. God I talk some shit...xxxxxx

AcrossthePond55 · 26/03/2015 22:15

I just....I just....I am just speechless with joy! After all you've been through, to emerge so triumphant is just wonderful!

You and WWK both deserve everything you've coke through this with. All flags flying. Women triumphant and beautiful.

I fully intend to run out and buy myself a pineapple. They are obviously more powerful in obtaining one's ends than any lucky charm or voodoo doll!

I know that neither of you would have chosen to walk this path. But you have both emerged so much stronger and wiser. And so many have taken strength from how you both have handled yourselves. God bless you both.

AcrossthePond55 · 26/03/2015 22:17

Coke through this with??? What the hell. COME through this with.

TheFormidableMrsC · 26/03/2015 22:17

Oh shit WWK, we forgot to mention Mr Hot & Gorgeous in Court...we were smitten........phwoar....:-D

Birnamwood · 26/03/2015 22:32

De lurking just so say bloody well done Mrs C and wwk

I've followed your story from the start and am really, really pleased for you and I'm going to buy a pineapple tomorrow and thrust it in the air in a victory salute. Spot the weirdo in the asdas

iwashappy · 26/03/2015 22:35

So pleased for you, what a brilliant outcome! Well done to WWK and the pineapple. Enjoy lots of Wine tonight. x

Newbiecrafter · 26/03/2015 22:47

TheFormidableMrsC, another one de lurking to say

Whoop! Whoop! Yayyyy!

Raising a Wine to you, WWK, your pineapple and your beautiful children, on a job well done!

I only found your thread a few days ago and spent about 4 days, when I could catching up.

For the most part I have been Shock but wanted to de lurk today to say Congratulations! I am so pleased to see that you got a sensible judge and that he awarded you fairly. I hope the idiot will still have to pay you some maintenance and that the finances are one less thing to worry about.

Wishing you All the best, always, for you and your son and daughter and to WWK. And to the power of the pineapple!

I'm going to go back to lurking now but, will be with you every step of the way.
Xxxx

myown2feetaregreat · 26/03/2015 23:13

Wow,just wow! I predict a run of pineapples in supermarkets every where . Well done , very well done. Sisterhood at its best.

Proud of you WWK , so pleased for you Mrs C

Ajaney · 26/03/2015 23:22

Well done to you both! Fantastic result!

WellWhoKnew · 26/03/2015 23:26

And tonight I go to bed (not mine) knowing that British Justice can rule okay.

The pineapple remains intact.

Of all the divorces that I am now privy to, including my own, this one meant more than all.

I'm glad that women who are suddenly abandoned with children, one of whom has very, very special and individual, yet pertinent needs...has a home for life, and will be looked after by a wonderful mother.

In a country that champions 'women's rights' but lambastes women on benefits, yet discriminates, if not sneers, against children with special needs, it must be said MrsC made water run uphill today.

Tonight we sleep in a home for life for a little boy of four who is very special - in the most positive sense of the word.

KOKO.

AcrossthePond55 · 27/03/2015 00:13

Ah, a new business idea;

WWK & MrsC Divorce Advocacy Group. Motto; 'We may not be 'legal', but we get shit done! No extra charge for pineapple.'

Grin.

WellWhoKnew · 27/03/2015 00:49

Across - double Grin

You've been beaten to this idea by ChocolateTeapot (an exceptional but quiet women herself)...the problem we have is financing such a project.

But you know...I'm Mrs Solution. It may take some time. But there are tons of us "out there" who can master a legal system one way or t'other, who are business minded, or compassionate, or just survivors.

We walk alone, but together.

Anyone got a spare multi-million?

nespressofan · 27/03/2015 00:58

another lurker but well known too wwk and mrs c. I am totally in awe of you both. I truly am. So bitterly sweetly happy for you mrs c and we will all koko. I have found you both such true friends and although feeling dreadfully alone tonight, I am not, am I? You 2 girls are there, looking after me, looking after others, and that is what it is about. Thank you both x

Bogeyface · 27/03/2015 01:07

WWK I think it was on your thread that I suggested the idea of a charitable fund for women who have to self rep. To give them a grant in order to get enough legal help to self rep as MrsC did.

We could do it, together we are stronger than the sum of our parts.

ninetynineonehundred · 27/03/2015 06:17

Another delurking here.
I'm so sad for both of you that you have experienced such pain and heartbreak over the last year.

Hopefully this is the start of healing and happier times for you both.

bogeyface I'd happily do that. There are too many women in this position

Weebirdie · 27/03/2015 07:17

Im still puzzled as to why the left court looking smug?

Could it be the OW has a slush fund hidden away somewhere?
