Been married 15 years, 2 dc together. I have been stay at home parent/part-time worker for past 15 years, dh's f/t career gone really well. Jointly own 1 house, equity c. £380k but live in one of most expensive areas of England so to buy 2x houses with this will be difficult. I would want to be primary carer 4-5 days a week. I have been primary carer mainly esp in last 6 yrs when dh has been away much of the week.
I gross £17k (part-time), he grosses £130k plus bonuses. I brought £70k equity, £30k inheritance and no debt to marriage; he brought £8k equity and about £10k debt.
Wondering what would be fair- i need to be able to afford a family home in a v expensive area, i would like recompense for what extra I brought to the marriage and for being primary carer all these years. Dh muttered about splitting equity 50-50 "to be fair" . So, any ballpark ideas of where we'd go in terms of child/spousal maintenance, equity split? I need to get some idea so i can plan feasible areas to keep them in current schools ideally. Many thanks.
