I have a complicated situation. I have left my husband due to his unreasonable behaviour. So bad my 3 older teenage children voluntarily moved out with me as ex refused to move out and children totally understand why I had to leave.
I am the higher paid as ex refused to get a full time job. However I have always done 100% of care for the children (or arranged paid care). My DS 17 has many additional needs that has taken an extreme amount of my time to deal with.
My ex had a property in his own name he had before we met. Our family home is joint.
As I earn more my ex is threatening to claim spousal maintenance and have 50% of the time with the children despite never looking after them and they don't want to be with him. He thinks his property in his name is not an asset of the marriage.
We were married for 13 years and lived together longer.
I have seen a solicitor but wondered if any mum had any real life experience of divorcing when you are the higher earner but do way more than 50% of the things for children and home.
