Couple have been married 12 years (together 15), with two primary aged DC.
Partner 1 put 200k equity into the purchase of marital home, partner 2 put nil in. House now has 300k equity (including original 200k). Partner 1 earns 60k partner 2 earns 35k (both late 40s) and pensions proportional to their earnings.
They have 2 primary aged DC, both work full time, and parent 1 is the primary carer (flexes hours to do some school runs, sick days off etc) and plans to have kids in week with parent 2 having them at weekends.
Parent 1 thinks the divorce should be a clean break with equity split 250k/50k in their favour. No CM to be paid.
Partner 2 thinks equity should be 50/50, with them also getting a portion of partner 2s pension. CM should be paid at standard rate.
