Hi I would really be grateful for some advice. My husband and I split three years ago. long story short we had argued for ages and he was also physically abusive on two occasions which made me lose all respect for him. We almost lost our home to repossession. He had lost his job and rather than actively look for another decided to start a business so that we couldn’t afford our mortgage payments. (High payments I didn’t understand or agree to). When we sold the house he gave me exactly back the percentage I’d put in: (which was actually less as we had fees to pay for exiting early). I agreed to this as was worried I would see nothing to start again with: We share our child on a 65/35 split. (Child lives with me predominantly). He doesn’t feel he should pay anything as he has a bedroom for our child and buys him clothes etc. He tells me to ask him for money for things for him but then I have to repeatedly chase which is demoralising. He doesn’t want to “line my pocket”: He has just sold a house he had with the ex and pocketed a six figure number. All I want is some maintenance for our child and to have what I should have out or our house. Does anyone know where I stand with this I’m wracking up so much debt just trying to pay living costs xx

Click on link above in header to ADVICE NOW.

read about “fair settlement”
read about the fact he needs to do a legal financial decalration
agree to nothing until you’ve informed yourself, and understand your situation, and agree to nothing till he has completed his legal financial l declaration

If you are still legally married without a clean break, you may be able to make a claim for some of the proceeds of his house sale. Get legal advice. Now!
