About to begin divorce proceedings. Can anyone help please? We have about 100k left on the mortgage for the family home in which I am living with my two children (husband left about a month ago and is renting a flat). I can afford the mortgage as it is on my own salary without husband's help. If the house is worth 300k could I remortgage so that I could give husband a 100k lump sum to buy him out? Not sure how this works. I could also offset my claim to his pension which will be significantly bigger than mine so that I could pay him less to buy him out of the house. No idea if this makes any sense and not sure if I could afford it but probably could. So grateful for any advice out there as very new to all this.
