Split from H in October following years of DV. Married for 10 years. I am now living in the house (joint mortgage) with DC aged 7 and 4. H currently staying with a friend. I am currently paying all mortgage and bills, he is paying £30/week CM.
I have always been the main earner, approx £22k, while he chose to work part time in a shop after completing his degree ten years ago. He earns approx £8k. Equity in the house is approx £10k.
What would be a reasonable offer in terms of financial settlement? We have no savings, so how do I actually "settle"?
I can afford to take the mortgage in my name, so how much do I need to offer him for this?
Can he force me to sell the house?
I have an NHS pension, can I be forced to cash this in to give him half, after he has chosen not to get his own pension?
Also, is it right that I pay all the mortgage and bills while this is sorted out, especially while he is still storing things in our home?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
