Email from W today:

"Hi,

Seeing as though our divorce is being read out in court today I thought it best to start thinking about our finances situation because I’m still a bit unclear as to what needs to be done legally.

As far as I can work out in terms of pensions we’ve only been married 3 years so we have no rights to each other's pensions anyway, I think it’s over 5 years that that happens. But I also think we do need to get a court order done.
I’ve read an article on it and it seems to explain it quite well. Could you read it ?

Seeing as though I’ve had to organise basically everything so far, could you look into it and start organising a court order if we need one?

[she then posted link to article here]

Hope all is well with you,
W"

The article actually says that if the relationship is good (i.e. on speaking terms) then you can just draw one up yourselves without using a solicitor. But you can then get it "approved" by a solicitor which makes it legally binding.
Not sure what to do.

I'm not happy that she's (a) asking me to do this when she wants D, not me, and then (b) ends it with a casual "Hope all is well with you", like she's just asked me to pick up some shopping on my way home from work!

Suggestions and advice please...?
