It was a short marriage of 5 months with no-kids and no-assets. Both earning, although my spouse earns less than I do. I paid for majority of the expenses when we lived together. But anyway, I am not asking for my money back, all I need is an understanding that nobody can claim anything in future.
I am planning to hire a lawyer for financial consent order.
1. What are the exact steps involved in getting clean break?
2. Who will start disclosing finances first? or is it done in parallel?
3. Does my spouse also need a lawyer (if willing to contest/negotiate)?
4. What happens if my spouse is not willing to complete paperwork?
5. I don't see any grounds on which my spouse can claim money, but do you see any?
