I have huge amounts of guilt over receiving money from stbxh. In my mind it is still very much his and he's been very good throughout the relationship of enforcing that idea. I had to ask for money, for items for the children, I often went without because I felt humiliated having to ask for xyz etc. You get the idea.
On one hand my solicitor is advising that every asset is included into the marrital pot, including a fairly substantial inheritance as the money was pooled within the marriage. He of course wants to reduce his liability as much as possible towards the dc and I.
So the question is would you go for half of everything or settle for far less, quickly, have lesser standard of living, barely managing to make ends meet whilst he keeps his lifestyle, assets etc.
