Hello
I have been split up from my wife for 3.5 years now and married 4 (it only lasted 6 months)
We have no children, no house, nothing together.. So things should be pretty simple...
When we split up we both had nothing, I worked and she wouldn't work only wanted to spend my money along with the bAnks money on my credit card so left me in a lot of debt, which I have now paid off
WHat will my soon to be ex wife entitled to if anything?
I do have some premium bonds which I had when we was together which where gifts to me, I have no savings now and don't have. house car etc
Please could someone advice me as solistors are contradicting each other I'm what they say
I won't be fighting for anything off her and hopefully she won't off me

Normally, after a short marriage without children, a court would expect both parties to be returned to the financial position they were in before the marriage started.
How many premium bonds are we talking? If solicitor costs are mounting up, is it worth giving her half to get rid?MSE aim: more thanks than posts :j0 -

no, that just encourages all the other gold-diggers out there.(present MSE company excepted goes without saying).The questions that get the best answers are the questions that give most detail....0
