Husband walked out after 18 years. Need advice 😔

Hello All,

To be honest I don't know where to start 😔
I've been married to my husband for 18 years (he is 7 years younger than me) I have a 20 year old son from a previous relationship and my husband and I have 2 children together. Throughout my marriage I have fully supported him through his studying to become a fully certified accountant while I worked part time running my own business for (with no pension on his advice) looking after the children and being a housewife. I have suffered along with my eldest son, years of verbal, emotional and physical abuse from my husband along side his gambling problems and infidelity. I know you may be reading this thinking why did you stay. The answer is I was numb and broken with no fight left. A shadow of my former self 😔
Long story short.. he has now walked out on us, has applied for a divorce and wants our house sold.
Can anyone advise me of what I am entitled to? Legally? I feel totally overwhelmed with it all 😢
Many thanks x

You poor lady. Flowers. Please do get some legal advice very soon - you can ask for the costs to be shared. Every persons situation is different so you need advice tailored just to you.
