Just left

Can anyone tell me, before any lawyer, before any court order, and only one person earns, is it basically just what is left divided by 2 or what do you do. What do you do to be fair. I know it is going to take a couple of months before I get her with a signature on anything.

No, the division is not necessarily 50/50, though that is often a starting point.

The Court must have regard to certain factors laid down in section 25 of the Matrimonial Cases Act 1973, for example, length of marriage, financial needs and resources of both parties,needs of any dependent children, and so on.

Hi

With all due respect Declan I believe that letsleave has said he is going to share his story and is about to broach the subject of divorce with his wife therefore doing the decent thing and being honest. I know you reckon that it is better for two people to separate than carry on in a marriage which has truly run its course. We do not know the background and therefore cannot be judgemental. I do not think it is helpful or supportive to use the term plotting. I know I came on here for support when I was unsure of which path to take (and got lots of it) and certainly needed to know some of the facts/likely outcomes. Letleave also says he wishes to be fair. Wishing you strength Letsleave with whatever it is you have to do.

Just a reminder that Wikivorce is open to all those who are affected by separation/divorce - either directly or indirectly - it is not a community just for those who have been left or cheated on.

We ask our community members (all of them) to adhere to our ethos, which is simply to provide support, advice and information and to treat everyone with respect; and not judge them.
