In the middle of a getting very nasty divorce and would really like to know if IABU.
Married 16 years with 3 DCs. Always been a SAHM with DH quite happy with this as it meant no childcare costs and he never had to worry about having someone to look after DCs whilst he buggered off every week to play his sports.
When DCs started school he agreed to me looking for work, but only on condition that it wasn't weekends, evenings, or school holidays as he wasn't prepared to either step up and do some childcare himself or help pay towards cost of outside childcare.
Anyway, I decided to end the marriage, got divorce started, tried to live in family home during the process, but just couldn't stick it any longer, so moved out. Me and DCs now living in private rented house with 2 bedrooms, no garden and miles from DCs schools. DH meanwhile is still in 4 bed detached house with garden, local park, near schools, etc, and refuses to sell house.
My solicitor has contacted me today to inform me that DH refuses to sell "His" house as I have put no money into it, so it will have to go to court.
He has offered me £10,000.
Honestly, IABU to push for more or has he put me down so often over the past 16 years that I am starting to think he has a point and I put no money in so should get no money out of the divorce.
DCs have settled in quite well TBH but this place is nothing compared to their family home, where their father is now living as a single person.
