My husband and I got married in July 2011. Back in September 2012 I discovered my husband had cheated on me. At the time he told me it was just a kiss and that he wanted to stay with me.
The next 4 months were spent with him lying to me and continuing his affair. He was present at the birth of our daughter in Dec 2012 and again promised to make a go of us. A few weeks back he finally confessed that he had been sleeping with his work colleague but promised it had stopped after I had found out. Although I have no solid proof I know this not to be true! Too many late nights, hidden mobile phone bills and secret meetings.
For 6 months I have put up with him continuously lying and cheating on me at a time which I consider to be at my most vulnerable. I fought for our marriage and our family but this was not enough for him as he continues to have a relationship with this woman. I am now at a point where I want him out of my life and a divorce.
Where do I stand legally and financially on this. I am currently on maternity leave and due to go back this Nov but would prefer not to. We have a joint mortgage. As well as child maintenence, does he still have to provide a roof over our heads? Do we have to sell the flat? What else would I be entitled to for the sake of our daughter? My parents live in Spain - am I able to take her away on holiday to visit them without his permission? I am to start divorce proceedings but will he have to pay for the cost of this?
Any other advice would be greatly appreciated as I'm at a complete loss as to where to start.
