I hope someone can help with a couple of questions. I separated with my wife last year and we both signed a separation agreement. We will divorce in a few years when we have lived apart for 4 out of 5 years as is the requirement in Ireland.
I have met someone else and will move in with them in the coming weeks. Will this affect the terms of my divorce settlement? What if I have children with my new partner? Can my wife "use" this new relationship to secure a better divorce settlement?
I don't know whether to just say nothing to her about it but we have a child together and I would rather just be up front....but then again if this will hurt me financially then maybe best to say nothing.
Obviously I am hoping that a relationship which is formed after the signing of a separation agreement would not impact on the terms of a divorce settlement. When we separated we were told that the terms of the agreement would likely become the terms of a divorce but this was not assured.
would appreciate the help.
