Hi, after legal advice for both parties my wife and i signed a Separation Agreement and draft Consent Order which agreed i would pay an agreed sum of 50% of the equity in my house for her to move into another plus usual trimmings. It was my duty to expeditiously apply for Decree Nisi after 2 years. The money was paid, she moved out but problems with access to daughter arose and to keep things amicable i have not to date applied for decree Nisi. I wish to do this now but am worried that as i have lived frugally and overpaid my large mortgage and she has done the opposite, i may suffer an adverse financial claim. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

I think you will find your back to square one, the agreement is very old and was based on actions not taken to which you agreed, this does not mean however that your being frugal will mean your spouse has a huge claim, you really should talk with a solicitor to find out where you stand.

thanks dukey, was coming to that conclusion myself. Have to look at ways of mitigating my risk, have you any advice or can point me in the right direction. Thanks
