Stbxh initiated the split and wanted to do arrange finances and divorce on our own no solicitor involved. He wanted to walk away with half of the equity and me to settle a loan on a car I need for my self employment with my half of the equity (it's on his name) leaving me with approx 20k. He was willing to pay the min required child maintenance. He earns over 80k pa plus bonus I earn around 7k with no chance of getting a mortgage. Spoke to solicitor who informed me I should be getting more equity and sm as it was a long marriage. So thought it was better solicitor helped me handle settlement. Anyway when told him he got angry and there were tears it was like I initiated everything and was wrong for wanting to secure mine and 2 kids future. He has never spoken to a solicitor (I've spoken to 4 who all said I would have a pretty rough deal if I took his option). Why then do I feel guilty?? I'm not trying to screw him over just want the best for the kids!
