Well thanks to some of you for the advice... not entirely sure why some of you are such c**ts rolleyes

Yes, my ex works in law, and yes she stopped paying anything towards the mortgage so I was looking for ways to encourage her to pay again. It was mentioned to me by a friend also in law that the SRA doesn't look to fondly on lawyers intentionally getting into debt or mismanaging their finances so I looked into raising that issue with my ex. But I have no way to communicate with her directly now so contacting the SRA (well, CILEX it turns out) would be the only way. Why this is a bad thing I don't know - lawyers are supposed to be reputable and ethically sound, so when they're not it's a bad move right?

So as well as refusing to pay towards the house, she still wants half of the house and has even said she wants the future value to be considered (comical!) and the icing on the cake was her entering the house while I was away and clearing it completely - not even a knife and fork was left.

I'm only asking for advice as I've never gone through this before.
You’ve had the right advice on the other thread and here, but as it’s not what you want to hear, then we’re just called “c**ts” by you.

A divorce is not some sort of criminal investigation where Columbo solves it at the end and the baddies get locked up. You’re splitting up, younhave no relationship and probably never will again. There is no black and white. The more you argue, the richer the solicitors get amd the poorer you both get. If there are no kids, then a split can be done very easily and with little cost. However, if you want to try to mess her life up, then she’ll respond in kind amd these things escalate very quickly and expensively.

Just listen to what your solicitor says, fill in the forms correctly, suck up your pride and get on with your life. You will come out of the low point at some point, but only if you let go of the bitterness and get on with your life.

You will not gain anything with this current approach.

Don’t bother listening to me though, I’m just a “c**t” and you can go ahead and delete all your posts as normal now.

Sincerely - that is some of the best advice I have ever read on divorce.

The Bose QC35 headphones are superb. I'd be upset if someone took mine.

Only PH could subvert a thread from an acrimonious divorce to a audiophile critique of the items stolen.

OP, why were your parents storing these items at your house, especially during a divorce? Seem like odd things to keep there.

Cheeky rascal.

I had to Barry my car to buggery to fit in with the in-crowd at Maccy's.

Wrong colour headlight bulbs, illegal tints to all windows and rear lights, drain pipe exhaust, lowered so it hits micro-organisms and my nickname plastered across the top of the 'screen along with my "crew's" name on the back.

You ain't lived unless you've spent 5 hours circling a deserted town centre in the bleak mid-winter.

Fortunately the Bose was standard.
