I'm a SAHM with 2 small dc's, one with SN. XH and I have been separated 2 years, and the divorce negotiations have been dragging on but we're nearly there. According to our agreement, I am going to start part time work when the youngest is in school (Jan 2012) and build up hours from then. Until then, H was going to pay a fairly generous amount of maintenane to cover mortgage, bills and my income.
He's a high earner with a city job, but has recently fallen out with his boss, been made redundant and has been put on garden leave for 6 months. After that, he plans to get another city job. If that didn't happen, he does still own a business near where I live where he could work (by making current managers redundant) and potentially earn a good salary and therefore pay the same maintenance rate from this.
What do I do now? Am just negotiating to get mortgage transferred into my name, which is proving difficult enough. H is pushing to get the divorce through but I feel I need some kind of certainty before I sign anything, or I could be left with very little. Any advice would be appreciated.
