Finance after divorce

I really do know about this and, while it depends on the circumstances, your ex can apply for financial Orders against you for years (and years) unless he or she has remarried and made no financial claims before the remarriage.
A clean break Order is always safest but a good divorce lawyer can advise you in your individual circumstances whether the potential risk outweighs the faff of getting this.

I am divorced but the Financial matters have never been finalised.

Oh yes she can unless you have a complete financial order in place, signed by the ex wife. www.gov.uk/government/publications/form-a-notice-of-intention-to-proceed-with-an-application-for-a-financial-order

Decree Nisi is merely the court agreeing that you can divorce. It is SO important to get a clean break order to prevent any future claims before getting the decree absolute.

I think you mean absolute

Once decree nisi has been granted there is no claim on the ex.

I agree pascal30

Re GSM, I thought I recognised her under a name beginning with B but many be wrong, and this person hasn't contributed for a few weeks. Hope she's OK.

or D.. maybe

No!

I could be wrong but did GSM return as FGT ?

Not true. They are legally divorced

Hmm, yes, I thought I saw GSM one day recently.

It is true if there is no financial order made. They need to make an agreement about pensions and other monies such as inheritance in the future. Divorce only ends the actual marriage.

Has GSM departed? I hope not.

Ages ago, but returned briefly under another name I think

still on here I think..

.

Presume there aren't any children and so I don't think that's correct.

I know someone who inherited and then sold a large property (£1m+) from a relative shortly after his divorce was finalised and his ex had no claim on it (nor did she want to, to be fair).

Agree if the lottery ticket was purchased after you have divorced, there is nothing you owe. I’m divorced but personally I will be happy to give my ex-husband some of the winnings - he is special enough.

Has GSM departed? I hope not.

I think the clean break order normally needs to be done before the absolute is done - he should see a solicitor.

Depends on what was in the final documentation. I would think most divorces it is stated that everything is final and she would have no further claim on him for anything.

Agree needs to complete a Clean Break Order.

Ah, yes indeed & well-said. I'm still missing her too

The legal queen on facebook is very good on things like this . I think she says to get a financial order for a clean break. You can get a free solicitor consultation for 30 mins I think ?
