Hi hoping for some advice, i have been separated for over 5 years . My ex was abusive violent. Plus financial abuse left with debts on cards i didnt know o had , also controling stalking habits , no furl in car to take kids out, cctv on the doors , and id be given a allowance if i did go out in cash and had to provide reciepts . Any how he wouldnt agree to a divorce then because of the terms abusive. We have lived completely separately. I rent on my own with the kids i work and get tax credits . My son gets DLA .
so my ex has stsrted the divorce the nisi has been agreed but now my ex wants a full financial disclosure even though the solicitor said its likely a cean break order as theres no assets. After 5vyears i see no reason for him to know my income , spending habits, my benifits , of which i still wirk over 30 hours for. I have no desire to see anything of his . I am more than happy to to Clean Break wven though his salary is 90k compared to my 15k .
where do i stand on this , its triggering his controlling memories .

Parties can agree a clean break between them but once an application is made to the court you have to comply with the terms of the order.

In relation to financial disclosure the standard directions are for 12 months of statements so that's what you will be expected to provide.

A clean break doesn't mean that you each walk away from each other, it means that the financial are separated with no ties such as maintenance.

If there are assets held in his name (or in his control which are in joint names) which were matrimonial assets I would expect you to get a share of this although that will depend upon a number of factors.

Thank you , we had no joint accounts just ones he opened in my name souly and left in debt was only when i was getting checks for rental properties i realised i had ccjs and defaults . Maintenance is sorted via csa . And its been 5 years surely this a breach of privacy now to have to give full deatils of the life ive had to rebuild. I would happily sign what is his is his and mine is mine . Im not interested in what he spends his money on , nor would i want any of his inheritance when they come. His family knew what he was like and left me and the kids at risk .
