It’s early days and I’m just trying to get my head around how much of a financial mess I am going to be in.
I gave up work to look after our children who have disabilities. We thought about sharing the work and caring roles but he’s hopeless with the kids so I took it on.
We have a house with a mortgage but a really good chunk of equity. He has a pension fund which he took out just after we got married. I have no pension fund.
Will I likely get a transfer of half his pension fund as well as a fair share of the house equity or is it more likely that he will keep his pension and I will get an increased share of the equity to reflect it?
I think he will want to keep all his pension and have minimum 50% of the equity but I will fight that.
I know every situation is different and obviously I will see a solicitor when I am able to do so but I’m so worried about being able to house the children.
Staying with him for the sake of ease is not an option, I need to get away.
