My husband had an affair and moved out over a year ago. We have 2 secondary school age children, married 10 years, lived together 18 years. Our children refuse to have anything to do with him due to the affair and his behaviour since leaving. Prior to the affair I thought we were happily married so it's been a massive shock to both me and our children.
Since leaving he has refused to discuss our children or finances at all. I want to divorce but have been advised by 3 solicitors that we will need to agree on finances or it could end up costing thousands.
He is paying the mortgage and towards the bills. Am I putting myself at any sort of disadvantage if I just leave things as they are as long as he keeps paying? I have tried everything I can think of to get him to communicate with me and I'm 99% certain he'll ignore solicitors letters and we'll end up in court.
