Hello. I wonder if any of you could offer me some advice. My partner and I have been together for 4 years and have an eighteen month old son. He was married previously for just over 2 years and there were no children from the marriage.
At the time of their legal separation it was agreed that his ex-wife would buy his share of the 'family' home. However he took a considerably smaller sum than her in order to protect his pension and some shares. He has recently applied for a divorce and now she is contesting the divorce. She got the family home first time around and now she wants more.
She signed away all rights to pension, property, succession rights etc. at the time of the legal separation so does she really have a leg to stand on? We're not talking about big money here and we do have a yound child to support. Will the Courts take that into account?
Is there a way to protect ourselves from her in the future? If we keep things in my name would that offer us any protection from her and her greed?
