Hang on! I thought that was the advice for 'Getting married, what do I need to know?'

Lets say its amicable at the moment.

Equity of the house will go to pay of the debt.

kids involved?

If there is no money then you have nothing to lose...

Unless she stiffs you for all her debt, can you prove that the equity will go to cancel out everything?

Unless you say yes to kids, then not much to worry about unless you have pensions and monies that she knows about and wants.

Mine was amicable, we didn't involve the solicitors, I bought him out the house and he signed something to say he had no further claim on it, we got the divorce papers from the Court house, they had a pile of do it yourself ones either with or with children in recpetion you could just collect for free, it cost around £300 for the whole process and took about 3 months.

It depends on the circumstances and whether things have the potential to turn sour, solicitors are an obvious option then but very expensive

No kids.

Equity only clears half of the debt which we have said we will take half each.

No assets like ISA's
Car is a Fiesta = £2500
Sold the cars to buy the house 11 months ago.

i dont think this has even started and i feel screwed!.

Any advice?
never done anything like this

As soon as she instructs solicitors say game over to your credit and amicable solution.

I should document my issues one day would make a great book!
