divorve after 2 years seperation worries

I broke from my wife over 2 years ago.
Initially i started à divorce claim but stopped short of filling in the reasons why and asking them to contact her.
That was because I wanted her back.
Now she has told me we are not gettinh back together.
We have a son.
I now plan to pick up where i left off and finish the divorce app which i had already paid about 250 for, if it is still active.
My question is, can she claim for money i saved during our seperation period.
I have been paying her via csa monthly since our split.
When we seperated i had nothing but i got 7k in the bank now due to being ablr to save more
If she can then i should clear my account before picking the divorce up.
Before you think im being mean, i have gavé her at least 5k in cash since our split on top of csa and days out at the weekend, plus i cleared on of our debts (all this possible due to rent free Dads)
I want to keep my savings to Start again, move out and Set up on my own again.
Plus the divorce will cost more and custody battle so I really wont have much left at the end anyway.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks...

Sorry to read about your situation, it sounds like you've gone through a painful time.
The Money Advice Service has some useful stuff that might be worth a look.
And the Citizens Advice Bureau are always a good place to go for legal questions.
It's good that you're starting to move on now, I hope things feel better once the divorce is finalised.
