I’m seeing a solicitor next week to get advice but I’m tryng to get my head around this.
We’ve been separated officially since 10th January. I hadn’t been unhappy for a few months, we tried therapy and then when I asked for some space to think he jumped straight into dating aps whic he sealed the deal for me.
When we met he already had a house and is a big Earner £150 k a year plus a bonus normally. We’ve been married five years and have no children (failed ivf).
I know I’m prob entitled to 50% but I feel this is unfair given I have put no money into our lives other than my full time salary.
We owned two houses together since being married. We made £100k on the first and £250 on the second. Minus stamp duty if we split that 50/50 it would be about £135 k each.
I have a fairly good salary and pension so I am happy to not split pensions. We have cars each and even though his is worth more I don’t feel I need to split that as an asset.
Do you think asking for £135k from him is a fair sum and Will the court allow this given that the total sum of our estate is probably around £650k so half would be £325k?
I feel like as he’s the big earner and already had a house when’s we met and some inheritance it’s unfair for me to take half. I Also feel guilty as it’s me who wants the split and not him.
£135k would be a decent deposit for me to buy somewhere to live without ruining him.
Any advice please?
