I'm getting divorced, currently waiting for Decree Nisi. Doing all the work myself because I can't afford a solicitor. Soon we will have to agree on division of assets - I am worried about losing my home, is there any way I could keep it? Here are the facts:
Me: age 49, work part time, earn £8,500 per annum. I have ASD which makes full time work difficult.
Stbxh: age 59, works full time, earns 21,000 per annum. Will have contributed 21 years to university pension scheme upon retirement.
We have 2 children, 21 (at uni) and 17 (sixth form, final year)
House is worth £140, 000. £25, 000 still to pay on mortgage.
No savings. House is our only asset. He wants us to sell up and divide equity 50:50.
My DD, 17, wants to live with me. Very worried about the future. I want him to sign over the house to me in return for not claiming on his pension. Do you think this is achievable or totally unreasonable? I am a bit clueless as cannot afford legal advice and don't know who to ask. Would appreciate your opinions x
