DH and I married over 10 years, but have had separate finances more through habit than anything. Joint mortgage on property, with 400k equity. I have small pension pot, he has similar
He earns 2.5 times what I do, and pays for mortgage, council tax and electricity and holidays
I pay for food, children clothes, clubs, household expenses, insurances, cleaner etc, childcare. I have debit as my income never seems, enough. I'm also paying off a car.
A few years ago I received a small inheritance that we used to pay off some of a mortgage, house extension and a family car.
Couple of years ago, DH received an inheritance, 5 times the size. Some has paid off the mortgage, the rest is in his personal accounts. He seems to view it as his money, altho I did explain all mine went into the family pot.
Selling the house and splitting all this morning would allow me to buy another property and live with the children 50% of the time.
Any ideas how his inheritance would be treated under the law?
I have asked for some money to clear some credit card debit and towards the car. He has currently refused.
