DH and I are separating. He is going to move out at some point.
We have a house, he has a decent pension.
House is worth 160k, mortgage is 55k. I had an inheritance and savings and paid 75 k deposit and I've spent about 15k on home improvements. DH pays 're mortgage, which is low at £291 a month.
I work part time and have a disability so cannot increase my earnings. DH has a good job with decent money.
I'll be blunt, I want the house. I have put 90k cash into it in the last 4 years. He has paid 5k off the balance. We have always had equal spending money, I've always been able to save, he has no savings and nothing to show for it (we don't have joint accounts).
I've said if I can have the house I wont touch his pension. He doesn't seem keen on the idea and thinks he is entitled to 50%, which he isn't because he has more earning capacity and I will be the primary carer (2 DCs) and limited earning capacity. I can't won't be able to borrow enough to by him out. I've also but spent 7k getting the house finished.
What are the chances of this being realistic do you think?
