I just started a divorce against African wife of 6 years. We have a son of 6. I suspected her financial motives after a year of marriage, but have been unable to do anything to change the situation. Particularly during the last 9 months, she has become incredibly evil and seems determined to destroy me. I believe I've always been very decent and fair towards her but her motives are now so transparent that it has made me seriously depressed. I started divorce on 2 yrs separation, her new solicitor just sent letter saying she rejects that and wants 'unreasonable conduct' and asks for full financial disclosure. Seems she has taken over the proceedings … if I accept that and respond … but I don't want to.
Point two is that I have two elder children and had put a lot of money aside for them, as their inheritance from their late Mum. My late wife and I agreed that we'd do this before she died suddenly. Current wife has always complained about 'the inheritance' but I never told her how much was involved. I bought a house for my son with his part (about 4/5 years ago) but my wife is now likely to claim half or more and also half the money put aside for my daughter. I am naturally furious about this and want to find a way to stop it, or at least mitigate their losses. I never considered this money was mine, it was always for them.
Final point is … I'm almost 72, she is 28 and an obvious golddigger (I missed that !) She has never contributed anything financially and I had a fair lump which she had to know about when applying for visas etc. Surely, some decent allowance should be made for me at my age and it was all my money after all. Advice would be most welcome. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
