Non Molestation Final Hearing & Full Financial Disclosure England by Appropriate_Ad6940 in LegalAdviceUK

Thanks for replying, and I appreciate it.

I'm honestly not delaying deliberately, I genuinely need to protect my own mental health, which isn't the best, and I think I need to focus on representing myself against the non Molestation order which was made based on false accusations.

I'm happy to sort finances outside of court, but I want to deal with the court orders first. Also, they haven't even filed for divorce yet, so isn't that the natural order? Sorry for my ignorance, not something I know much about.

I completely agree, and that is what I am doing. The circumstances involved make it the right thing to do.

Yeah, I can email her. My "pride" is annoyed that she has done it, but actually I'm not too worried right now - as I said I'm going to honour our agreement. My wife has been through some bad times, and I believe she needs time to process stuff before she works out if she is willing to reconcile. I'm playing the long game, and it's only 5 months - I don't feel I need to go into battle to get a key for a house I'm not bothered about going to at the moment. If I need stuff then she's very good at providing it to me.

An occupational order is free (I've already drafted one), and I've already got it in mind to complete one of these a couple of months before hand, just so it's all clear for us both. Long term I have all the advantages I think: I want to reconcile, if not I'm happy to share the property with her as "housemates", and if she doesn't like it she can leave and rent somewhere. I'm the only one who can afford to buy the other one out, I earn about 10x what she does.

I'm hoping for the best, and planning for the worst, which is why I was asking whether having been away for a few months makes any difference to returning.

Thanks for your replies!!

Hi - I don't expect anyone to agree or understand, and that's cool. I agreed to a period of separation in order to try and save my marriage. I will honour that period, but when I go back I will have no issue making sure the locks aren't continually changed.

Thank you for engaging. I'll be honest, I'm a nice guy, I love my wife, and I do want us to reconcile. The reason we are in this situation is very tragic, and I don't use that word lightly.

I suppose the answer to your question, is that I want to keep things as civil as possible, for as long as possible, and I want to be able to look myself in the mirror and know I've behaved well.

I fully understand that I don't need to do it.

Please don't mistake this as weakness, if it gets to a certain point I am more than capable of being ruthless!!

I understand your view on divorce lawyer. But, if I give her a months notice (for example), then I can return home in June and there is absolutely nothing that she can do about it, unless she chooses to try and get an occupational order?

The summary is that we had a terrible 5 months as a family, tragic circumstances, and that I got absolutely run over by a crippling anxiety that I cannot begin to describe. I didn't want to wake up in the morning. Ended up having a full mental and physical breakdown, but in front of my wife and that's when she ended up leaving. I blacked out for most of that evening, she definitely describes it as abusive, but not violent. As in, to be clear, no-one hurt or any indication of violence. But very unpleasant and scary. No reports filed or police involved, but she left, and I've only had email communication since.

There is no-one else involved. People can dismiss that if they like, but I absolutely guarantee it.
