Thanks again, Mike. I am suffering from depression because of this situation and I went to see my GP. May be worth asking my GP to write some medical report about my depression or it's doesn't really matter for Court? I have to cope from daily pressure of my husband and his "very generous offer".
I am glad you gave me your opinion of my husband "very generous offer". Do you know what might be a minimum and top price if we go to Court?

Catty.

Can you give some more information?

You say you were together for 4.5 years - how long were you married?

What assets did you bring to the marriage?

We've been married for 4 years in total, but were togather for 4.5 years, because I came to UK on fiancee visa. I had no assets compare to my husband who had everything. But he knew I had nothing and he was okay with it. But I sucrified a lot, I left everything in my home country, career, family,sitizenship... I can't find a job here because I am gualified outside of UK. I feel completely broken down...


I just want to know what I am entitled for? I dont think so that I am entitled for 50/50 but for what? I never wanted to divorce my husband, so why I should suffer?

I agree with Peter C. I think your husband has made a perfectly reasonable offer.

Someone I know married a lady who came over here on a fiance visa and after 3 years of marriage he threw her out as she cheated on him. She never loved him in the first place and only used him to get settled over here.

They are now divorced and he didn't have to pay her a penny although she took all her belongings car, clothes, jewellery which he'd bought her during the time he was with her. I am not saying that these are the same circumstances as yours but perhaps you could enlighten us as to why he has chosen to end the marriage after 4.5 years.

No-ones business I know but after having experienced the upset of this man who genuinely loved his wife only to be betrayed, you perhaps will understand why I am sceptical.

He decided to end our marriage because he doesn't love me anymore. Man's world, I am afraid... Is it acceptable?

To Lady in blue - do you think I also used my husband to settle over here? I never been particularly keen on England in first place, so you are wrong!! I think it's quite personal and not connected to settlement.
