I found out my wife of 3.5 MONTHS was cheating and had married me to gain financial advantage, My house is still mortgaged and there is approximately £100,000 equity, I am due to inherit a quite substantial amount if money shortly. I have a small amount of proof that it was premeditated. Where do I stand? will the courts share my assets with her

No.
Assuming you haven't been together more than a a few years and don't have kids together. Then no.0 -
My understanding is that in the case of a divorce of a couple who have been married less than two years, the financial position that is taken to be that of each partner before the marriage took place.0

If you have been married less than a year, you may have problems getting divorced, so you should probably see a solicitor for professional advice. Many of them give a free initial session but even if they do not, it will still be a price worth paying.0

Can't generally divorce in the first year of marriage, only annul.

How long were you together before that? Did you live together (how long)?
Found out my first husband (of 3 months) was cheating. We'd been together 6 or so years. Had to wait a year to divorce.
Second husband - short marriage (less than 3 years) and we were both 'returned to the financial position when we met'. I had £100k+ equity in the house and kept it. No share of pensions, assets or anything.
Never marrying again LOL.2024 wins: *must start comping again!*0
