Hi all,
Not sure if there is a quick answer to this, but I'll throw it out there.
Me and the Mrs have amicably agreed to go our separate ways after 10 years of marriage. No kids involved, not claiming on each others pensions, vehicles, personal property etc. Only main asset is the house. We have had valuations, agreed on a 50 50 split of the equity, I am staying in the house and buying her out. I have remortgaged and the effective settlement money is in my account. The divorce is ongoing so no clean break as yet. Wife has asked for the money so that she can afford to move out and start again. This would work for me also in theory so I could start to move on also, but I'm uncomfortable parting with this money at this stage as it feels as though I have no security. Am I worrying unnecessarily or am I right to sit tight until the clean break is finalised? Moving on and not living together sounds great, but.....
We're not at each others throats, it's just a little uncomfortable.
Thanks for reading.
Stewie.
