IDIOT I AM !

Married 23 yrs then divorced 6 years & it''s like it''s day one.Thought from the start of the divorce I had jumped the gun. Gave him 70% to clear his debts. After the house sale I bought a car, shared the rest of my 30% between our 3 grown kids & went into rented cos I felt so guilty about it. This time last year we were still dicussing me moving to his new job & starting again.
He has just announced he is marrying a women he has known less than a year. All good luck to them. Can I:
1.Revisit or overturn the Consent Order?
2.Claim part of his pension?
3.Secure part of his assets for the
adult children of our marriage,as I was misled as to the extent of his original debt?

Hi mez

Sorry can''t answer your questions. You aren''t an idiot but did what you thought best at the time. What your post has done for me, however, (also 23 years) is highlighted how important it is to get as fair a settlement as possible. Thanks. Finding the financial side of it difficult but also know I cannot afford to be soft about it.

Hopefully someone will come along with the answers you need.

Best Wishes

im no expert and I am sure the wise wikis will help but as far as I understand if a consent order was drawn up I don''t think you can go back for anything?
You''re not an idiot we all do things we regret and hind sight is a wonderful thing - I presume the consent order was signed through the courts by a judge?
Were the pensions not shared at the time? do you happen to know what type of pension it was/is?
Hopefully you''ll will get the answers you need.

Have to agree with Gillian. If you had a consent order drawn up and signed. Its will be practical impossible to get it set aside after 6 years.

Thanks for the replies. Guessed as much but never hurts to double check and, Angie P, go 50/50 and think of the future with your head, not your heart
