TRACIE_LOU Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I've been issued a letter for long awaited divorce proceedings, in said letter there is a section about 'clean break' order? Everything was sorted regarding house kids etc between us, nobody else involved. So what exaclty does this entail? is it just simply so i dont go after him if he wins lottery? or does it effect the maintenance he pays? Any free legal advice is welcome!! please:D I can't afford to get a solicitor aswell and have trusted what we have agreed between us but at the same time i'm a little concerned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveK Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I'm not a lawyer, but I just used google. The sites I found seemed to suggest that clean break meant a total break, with no financial ties between you. In other words - clean break and maintenance are mutually exclusive. http://www.terry.co.uk/divorce6.html http://www.sharingpensions.co.uk/marbreak3.htm#text1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pot Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I agree it's best you make sure you're covered, I've no experience so I'd say go to the Citizens Advice too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRACIE_LOU Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 I'm not after any future monies of any kind ie lottery or pensions etc.. so i am cool with that but its just the maintenance side that concerns me, tony pays more for his 2 and was earning less. i'm not a money grabber and i know its difficult from both points of view.. guess citizens is best place to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
