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.....
