Hello everyone!

[Linny02]

Hope someone can shed some light or direction on this question.

i separated legally after 23 years of marriage, my estranged husband was having an affair after a very volatile relationship. I put my life savings down on a property with the position of 50/50 settlement of property and pensions. It didn't go to plan and I was forced to accept a lower amount relinquishing my rights to anything. Well 12 years have gone by with no divorce and my middle daughter this year reported my ex for historic abuse case, unfortunately after this turmoil she didn't get the result that she needed and all she wanted was her step-father to apologise and divorce.
I received a letter the other day from his solicitors explaining he was filing for a divorce but I needed to sign transfer of an endowment that had matured 2012 and that he'd already received his 50% share. Mine has been waiting for me to claim though I had no knowledge that it still existed as my ex was and still is a slippery fella. I've learnt by speaking to the insurance company that I can claim my share. Should I do this?

Hello Linny and to Leagle Beagles.

My instant reaction is that if your ex-husband's solicitor is asking you to do something then you should definitely NOT do it whatever it is! He's acting for your ex and not in your best interests. No way.

You will need to take legal advice from a qualified solicitor sooner rather than later but it may help to let us go over some things with you first so you can start to work out what you want not what your ex wants.

I'm so sorry to hear about your daughter's experience. My heart goes out to you both :grouphug:

So young & yet so cynical, lol

But 100% agree; a second expert opinion is a definite here!

I would rather burn my house down than give half of it to my ex-husband :flame:


I'm going to ask the Boss to move this thread to our Family Law section where you will hopefully get posts from members who have been through divorce and will have plenty of thoughts to share with you

Re: Hello everyone!

I guess you can get your share besides it's yours. I am sorry for your daughter. I hope everything goes well on you and your daughter.
