Been trying to agree between ourselves about asset split but don’t think we are going to be able to. Ex has had no legal advice, and not looking like he’s going to. Acknowledgment of service just been sent back from ex to court (I’m divorcing him and everything been done through my solicitor so far, also anyone know how long from that I will get a date for decree nisi?)
Can anyone who has been in any sort of the same position give me a rough idea of what they settled for or their opinion of a fair split?
Me savings 2k (solicitors fees mainly)
Pension just under 3k (part time worker)
Car paid off worth 2k (bought after separation)
Equity in shared house with EXH around 70k
EXH savings - no idea, probably a couple of thousand at best
Pension - over 25k
Car - on hire purchase
We have 2 children, I have worked part time for the past 9 years hence the low pension.
I am the resident parent, EXH has the children one night a week. Children will be with me 6 out of 7 days after divorce is finalised, same as it is now.
I need to have enough money to buy a 3 bedroom property hopefully as they will be with me 90% of the time, I do all the school runs, appointments ect
More of the deposit for the house came from me,
I have told EXH I will not settle for 50/50 equity split but he won’t come back to me with a figure he’d be happy to settle on.
Any advice/ opinions welcome 🙏☺️
Forgot to mention marriage length was only 2 years.
