Married 17.5 years.
2 kids.
I paid every bill and mortgage payment.
Ex contributed nothing financially.
I supplied designer clothes, house cleaner, gym etc, etc etc.
I had a business that went bankrupt in 2016.
Ex walked out on me with kids 2 years later.
She was no support to me when I needed her most - Narcissist.
I am in family home alone.
She is in her millionaire sisters house for past 2 years.
She is getting over £500 per week on benefits.
I went personally bankrupt in 2019.
Having to fight in court to see my kids.
Ex successfully got court to put divorce proceedings costs on me in my absence.
I am struggling to stay afloat (on UC) but confident I can rebuild my career when divorce is over and contact with kids is sorted.
We went in front of judge in first financial resolution hearing and they advised that ex gets 100% equity of all assets which is family home that I live in. Equity is approx £70k and joint valuation (influenced) has been used despite an independent valuation carried out by my trustee in bankruptcy that was £40k lower. I also bargained with the trustee to buy back my equity for £10k but judge has given no credit to me for saving the asset and putting it on the table.
Very very confused and feeling that court has been totally unfair.
Any advice?????????
