Hi. Advice needed please. My marriage is on the rocks. I’ve told my other half but he’s refusing to discuss the issue with me. In a nutshell he’s a workaholic, selfish, arrogant, no effort into ‘us’ but, thank goodness, a brilliant dad to our young kids. I am hopeful that we can keep things amicable. We own a property- joint mortgage. Other half also inherited a significant sum earlier this year. I sought some free legal advice through work and was told that, in terms of matrimonial assets, the inheritance is a grey area. I’m the primary carer to our children. Ideally one of us would remain in our home to maintain some stability and there’d be a transfer of equity. Inheritance aside, I’d not be able to afford to buy him out if we split the capital 50/50. If the inheritance was amalgamated with the capital on the house then I could afford to buy him out. Or he could buy me out and I could buy a very similar house to maintain living standards for me and the children. I envisage this would not go down very well with my husband. I’d really like to avoid court and happy to go down the mediation route. Anyone have any advice?
