BACKGROUND
Hi, I left my career to be a sahm 10 yrs ago as agreed with DH as he has a very stressful career which means he can be working away or called any time of day/night. I didnnot work for 7years Me being at home looking after kids and arranging everything from his car tax to decorating has allowed him to continue building his career (imo).
I started work part time (much lower pay than my job before kids) once kids at school.
My earnings 9k (however I am on a temporary contract) i work school hours to fit in with the children.
His earnings 40k expected to increase to 50k in the next yr. He has the opportunity to further his career even more in the future.
House has 100k equity. Still 13yr mortgage remain.
It is my opinion that where we live he would be able to get a mortgage, albeit on a much smaller property whilst still paying me CM of £600. (He currently pays ALL my bills and does not pay any rent where he is atm)
MY PROPOSAL
I propose that he hand the house over to me and then pay CM only until the kids are out of education or age 21 whichever is first.
I realise that thus is alot for him to just hand over. Any suggestions on me maybe paying him out (how much?) welcome. I would not be able to pay lump sum straightaway though. I do not want to sell my house now or any time in the future.
I would not ask any spousal maintenance or claim on pension.
I would be starting divorce proceedings however it was he who left me.
Thanks for reading! Any comments welcome about what to expect....Please not the you are being greedy/selfish comments they are unnecessary.
