Hi,
I was in the process of separating from my husband (about to put the house on the market and split it 50/50).
Just received a letter form his solicitor that he is filing for a divorce!
In the letter he states that he thinks I have savings and investments elsewhere. I do. I have money I received 10 years ago for medical negligence and I have not touched it as I know my disabled son will need it. I have given some to my daughter as she will be responsible for my my son when the time comes.
First- I do not understand why he is going down this road when we were sorting it out amicably and secondly- how can he want to take money I received for nearly dying?
My husband is an alcoholic and has not supported me at all throughout my illness and my son's illnesses and I do not feel he morally deserves the money.
My questions are-
1) Is he automatically entitled to half of this money?
2) If not would I have a strong case in preventing him claiming the money? i.e. He is an alcoholic and irresponsible with money, morally it is unjust as he did not support me and the fact that I need the money for my son's future as my husband has not made any provisions?
Many Thanks in advance for your answers.
ps I am sure there is no way I can get around not disclosing the money or by putting it into a trust fund, would I protect it?
Also, as some is in my daughter's name would this money be included in his claim or is that now considered her money?
