After a few years of legal procedings my wife & I signed a consent order giving her 2/3 & me 1/3 of the marital assets. The order also included items specifying the money was for 'her own home ' During the process she had provided several sworn statements saying that she did not intend to co-habit. I later found out that she bought a house with her new partner a month before she signed the consent order. I have taken legal and barristers advice on this but they say that I may end up with nothing as the legal bills may exceed the money I can reclaim, �25K. As I have already paid �22K in legal fees to my previous solicitor I am reticent to commit to any further costs. Apparently it will take two court hearings to overturn the consent order. She also fraudulently claimed legal aid.

maybe she didnt intend to live there with him at the time she signed the papaers (or at least thats what she could say) What are you actually asking here, or are you just venting?

She bought the house with her partner before she signed the papers. Its a breach of trust as all financial changes have to be declared to the court.
I'm trying to find a way to resolve this issue without me loosing another �20K in legal fees.
