Dh and I are seriously considering divorce after 30 years marriage. It's my choice- we have grown apart and have little in common.
I am 60 and although I work part time for myself, it's unlikely I can return to my former career at this stage. DH earns almost 6 figures, I earn very little as was the chief carer for our children, we have a home worth around £700K and he has a final salary pension.
I've offered to move out and he says he doesn't want that and neither does he want to move out either. So how do we get divorced? There is no unreasonable behaviour or any other criteria that we fulfil. He seems to think we can each stay here until the house is sold but I've said hang-on- there is a lot more to it than that. I'm not willing to sell the house prior to a divorce and settlement because although it's highly unlikely I could remain here (I think I could have the house or my share of the pension but not both) I don't want to assume that -so what next?
