Likely asset split

[Ilovebolly]

Hi,
Got first collaborative meeting with STBXH and solicitors in a couple of weeks.
One sticking point will be splitting the equity of the house. No mortgage. H has been “strongly advised” that 50/50 unlikely as he sold his first flat and put in £160k into our first marital home. My solicitor says 50/50 likely due to my loss of earnings, pension, promotion opportunity while not working and working part time raising the children. Should also mention that H has £70k of “gifted” money squirrelled away that I can’t touch so he will have absolutely no money worries.
Anyone got any experience of this, and what kind of offer I can expect? Thanks

How long were you married? Firstly if there are children its about their needs so where will they live.

I think 50/50 likely after a long marriage as many couples enter relationships with unequal finances. I was the pre marriage wealthier partner and "lost" my equality in divorce.

Do you know the value of all assets, including pensions?

Ha ha...
His 70. Half is yours....
The judges go one needs...
They use everything... I know this 100% as just sorted it all with friend...
They spent £100k on charges..
Judge still went on both need a house, there are funds in the assets..
She got 70%.

We’ve been married just over 12 years so a pretty long time. Also, am in Scotland which I think makes quite a big difference.
