Sadie Frost is unhappy that she is being forced to sell her family home, as part of the out of court settlement that she reached with ex-husband Jude Law.

The actress receives £3.5 million in cash from the settlement, as well as £15,000-per-month in child maintenance from the Alfie star.

However, their £4.5 million home will be sold and the money split between the pair. Law is also able to make the final decision on where Sadie chooses to live with their children.

A friend told the News of the World, "She's very distressed she's being forced to sell up as the kids are settled there. They have a fabulous garden to play in and great bedrooms. They don't want to leave.

"And she's angrier still that she has to send Jude estate agents' details of potential houses. It's like he is controlling her and they are not even married any more."

The source added, "Sadie is devastated and is pressuring her lawyer to see if he can turn this around."
