Just a quick one that worried me a little today. My wife left me over 2 years ago, we are currently in the middle of divorce proceedings. When she left she took £20,000 equity from our home and had the car etc. She had massive debt problems and sure she still does. Will the OR approach her or involve her? I dont really even want her knowing whats happening to me (BR). She lives in rented accommodation. Thanks again Matt
It was 2 and a half years ago now, she took all the equity from our home and left me. It was from here my troubles started. I let her have everything because she has our daughter, I sold the house lost £3000 on that and eventually got to rent a flat. I know she had terrible debts and took the money for that. I am sure she still is in a financial mess, doesnt have a house, just rents. I dont really want the OR to involve her, we get on ok for the benefit of my little girl who I get to have every weekend. If they start threatening her with taking money she will turn it against me and ultimately I will loose out seeing my little one as often....? Any thoughts? Thank you Matt
It sounds as though you haven't had a consent order stamped re finances so I can't see how the OR could avoid contacting her & demanding half the equity. The only possible way would be to wait until 5 years have passed.
