Is it really best to stay married?

[Onlyrainbows]

Posting here for traffic and also with the disclaimer that there's no real relationship breakdown but I've contacted a few solicitors and they all gave me completely different advice.

I earn 3x what my husband does and the deposit for the house was mine. We've always agreed between us that if we ever separate, he'd keep 50% of the equity but I keep the deposit. One lawyer said that was fine as long as we didn't take it court, another said it was doable with post-nup, and a third one said I might as well stay married because it wouldn't end well for me.

It turns out I needed to speak to an insolvency solicitor, but given what my DHs debts are, I actually never had anything to worry about.

Was the deposit legally ring fenced or was it a verbal agreement? Do you have children, how would care be split? It depends on how much the money is worth to you verus the freedom of being single/away from
DH.

The conveyancers advised against the "tenants in common" or whatever is called as we knew we were getting married.

My relationship is pretty good, all of this "exercise" came to be given debt, which is minimal and stable, so not a lot to worry about.
