Protecting myself financially in event of divorce

Hi everyone

Just awake in the small hours...... needing some advice re impending house purchase which is being done solely in my name though I am married

Husband is unemployed and has been for several years stating that he is trying to set up a business abroad

I have financially supported us for over 10 years whilst he has basically been a SAHD

I have put up all the money for the deposit and will be paying the mortgage alone whilst still in effect giving him an income

We have 2 school age children, but wanted to know where I would legally stand if we were to divorce property wise.

No current pension and all savings will have gone into house

Is there anything that I can do to protect myself and children financially prior to house purchase in the event of a divorce?

I am not presently looking to separate but want to make an informed decision where possible

Do you feel slightly aggrieved op that it wasn't a plan fot him to be a sahd and you be breadwinner? That you fell into these roles due to his "business" issues.

I’m sorry but don’t think ordinarily once the kids are at school a sahp facilitates anything

My kids are on holiday for 19 weeks a year.....
