I'm wondering how this will work. I have not filed yet. separated 3 years with nothing formal in place. I was a sahm with 3 young kids most of the time we were married. (wanted to work but he didn't want me to). Since leaving the house (he is still living in) I have been renting with the 3 children and I've been working. I don't earn much but I am determined to work. I'm also studying again to try and get a better paid job.
Anyway long story short. H had a very good job (80K +) Bonuses, good pension etc. He sold another rented out house (owned outright), said I could have the proceeds to get a place for I and the kids, then changed his mind at last minute (after I'd tried really hard to get a small mortgage and dragged kids around viewing places). He said he was putting it into a business (165K), he then left work and so is working on something from home I think. I went down a few hours at work as the mortgage would have meant I was paying a lot less than the rent I pay and childcare fees were crazy. I wondering now, how they will view him as having left his work? I have no proper maintenance in place (amicable agreement which could end any time)
No other partners ever involved, I left because of the way I was treated. (ignored, not spoken to for days and constant criticism for everything under the sun).
I have a couple of grand in the bank to pay for my fees but I'm worried already as solicitor wants £500 deposit to start work (paid 120 p/h so far) and mediation has cost £120 so far for 1 hour.
I'm just wondering if he has done this on purpose at this time. Wdyt?
