Financial rights

[Bp17]

Hi been together over 39 years lived in his family home with 6 kids. Marriage now over and I've moved out at his request waiting for council to help. I work full time and 3 of the kids with me. What are my rights to support for the children and I paid into the house for over 30 years. Thanks

Just a warning to people saying the OP is entitled to half the house which doesn't belong to ether party is wrong.

Aka DH parents bought a second house and kept it in their name (this is the important bit parents own it) and we live there does not mean the partner has rights to 50% of the house just like if you were renting you would not get 50 from the landlord

Hi guys any advice as to where I get a solicitor so I can get things sorted as he is refusing to pay anything to me and kids and then saying he wants the kids at weekends which means I don't see them as we work and school all week. Thanks

Type the name of your town and solicitor into Google.

For maintenance for the kids you need to contact the Child Maintenance Service.

A solicitor can only help with spousal maintenance on top. Get on the phone to CMS and start a claim immediately. I am guessing you have more kids with him, how many are with him, and what ages? How much do you each earn? Who gets child benefit, and for which kids?

Hi thank you yeah we have 6 together the youngest are all under 15 and I am working full time but now have a large rent to pay. I never got anything apart from clothes from the house and had to borrow to furnish the flat. Just all a mess and now I'm struggling and he gets to take them movies and take seats at weekends. Will get onto CMS on Monday thanks

Hi all just a question. Ex has offered me 100 a week but wants me to sign a document saying I won't ask for anymore down the line. Is this reasonable or am I being stitched up. Thanks

You’re probably being stitched up.

After living in the house for that length of time you’ll have some rights. You need to see a solicitor. You get a free consultation.

Thank you
