It's been a long time coming but there's no other way, divorce is the only route out of this life.
My first concern is our 2 children 7&14, his first concern is how much money he's going to lose!
I suggest we try and do things without to much solicitor involvement to try and keep costs down. He immediately starts badgering me for an answer to how much I want. He thinks 50/50 would be 'morally' right but I'm not so quick to agree. I don't want to short change my children or myself. I'm not money grabbing I just want what I'm entitled to. Any ideas?
I've been a SAHM since we had children, this has allowed H to work without worrying/sharing the child care responsibilities. He can go abroad at the drop of a hat and finish work when he wants. We have a joint mortgage and a couple of cars. All savings are in his name. I have absolutely nothing. I have lived depending financially on him for almost 20yrs (married 6) I do worry about how on earth all this will work out. My son has special needs and I don't want to uproot him but even with a job I could fit around the children there's no way I can afford to stay in this house.
Anyone with experience of this from the point of view of being a SAHM?
