Legal settlement advice needed?

Mr_Egg

I've been divorced nearly a year now. It was a quick hassle free divorce. We didnt go down the solicitor route and never did a legal financial settlement. We split our savings 50/50 and my wife had 100% proceeds from the sale of our house and car plus she kept most of our furniture etc...

Now what i would like to know is because we didnt have a legal settlement can she come back and claim more? I'm slightly worried as Ive been told she can claim future inheritance, as can I off her. Basically where do i stand legally can she try and get more and also could I if I wished go back and claim my half of the house sale etc?

We have no children. I currently rent and she live back with her parents.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

In theory yes she could, as could you from her. What you should do is have a clean break financial consent order drawn up; this will protect both of you from future financial claims from each other.

Thanks for the reply. Would I just go to a solicitor and get this sorted?

Think that would be best, to ensure it is worded correctly.
