Hi
I think my wife is looking to divorce me. She seems very unhappy and is a SAHM. Never really worked. I work from home. I earn £60K .
I was trying to get an idea of what kind of settlement would be fair.
We have a UK house with around £50K equity. A foreign property with around £85K equity. Savings are low so around £12K. Although she's took all this now out of the bank account (account was in her name). No pension.
We have 5 kids. I am very close to the children and do a lot of the looking after them as I work from home (half the school runs, make tea, shopping, dishwasher etc).
Idea
The children stay with me (I think she would be OK with this as she wants to go to college and generally get her life back). I give her a lump sum of £100K (I'd get this off my parents) and both houses stay with me so I have the liability to pay the mortgages and rights to occupy them. I wouldn't want any funds off her for maintenance etc and this would effectively be a clean break. She would have no claims to future earnings off me either.
Does this sound fair?
Many thanks
