lovely, a Swiss roll

as for solicitors in UK, those fees sound like nonsense

If you are married already, you can still register the child as yours at the Embassy, so he/she can get Uk citizenship

you can keep your g/f as a common law wife until you eventually get a divorce, but no hurry. Your wife is entitled to half of your savings but only if she knows where they are! as was said, you can "give" them away, then you don't have them any more.

If the divorce is uncontested (she agrees) then you can divorce after 2 years marriage; if not, I think 5 or 7 years, as was mentioned. BUT you can divorce her at any time on the grounds of permanent breakdown of the marriage, mental cruelty (having another boyriend)
