My husband financially abused me I think he gambles

My husband never paid mortgage off for last 20 years kept it on interest only, took out over £100,000 in personal loans in his own name and has nothing to show for it, wasted £335000 which includes these loans along with remortgaging the house. We now owe £212000 after 20 years originally borrowing £182000. He earns £64,000 a year and has MINUS £1660 in his account today. I signed over an inheritance along with my siblings to my parents in 2015 and we had our first court hearing where he stated he wants half of that money. I have all the evidence on his financial abuse - we never had a joint account. Will a judge take his financial abuse into account when dividing up assets. I need a good solicitor in London can someone pls direct me thanis 🙂

Maybe. Or maybe the judge will divide the assets according to need. Hard to say really.

Most probably they will take this into consideration if you have not agreed to the remortgaging this is awful .
How does he sleep at night.

Unfortunately he got me to sign as well for remortgaging as we had separate bank accounts he took control of all the money as I was distracted minding the babies with no help from him. However one time he did remortgage in his own name and all his personal loans (over £100,000 were in his own name which he spent on himself with nothing to show for them). Honestly the physical pain I feel from the stress is overwhelming and he has manipulated the kids against me too. I know Il be okay once I get through it no matter what the outcome. I feel like I’m in a lorry that’s crashing and I’m breaking but it hasn’t come to a stop yet but I have my seat belt on which is my faith in Christ and He will fight this battle for me. Amen

Hmm this is awful.Hold onto your faith.Thats your way of coping.
Evil bloody evil.What were his expectations as after the 25 years were up with all the debt you would have been homeless.
I pray for strength.for you.
Make sure you get a knowledgeable lawyer.
