If theres enough equity in the house too house both people am I wrong wanting 50/50

@YourCandidTraybake You can use a mediator.
Both parties disclose all assets and value of them (see Form E) - share/show the docs that show the value of assets.
Section 25 Factors are applied to decide on the split of assets https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1973/18/section/25
"First consideration being given to the welfare while a minor of any child of the family who has not attained the age of eighteen".
A settlement is agreed - a mediator can be used.
Court may ratify the settlement (at the discretion of the court/Judge).
Seek legal advice.

I will try

Holy shit, where do you live that you can get two 3 bed houses for £260k?

Sorry, didn't see where you said North East. Ignore me. 🙄😆

Practically what’s fair is where both parents have equal opportunity to work / earn. If you want certain days to fit in with work schedule that will limit what job she can get. When you say you want those days do you mean you will take leave or pay for childcare if the children are sick or on holiday those days or school closes with snow? Often women get the rough deal in that they are stuck with low paid work that fits round children and dads only do the nights but don’t take time off work to cover days. Not sure how much the court takes that into account in a split but if you work Saturday are you going to make arrangements for childcare on some Saturdays? Is the split of childcare and ability to work going to be equal? If you can see it from the other persons perspective that can save a lot on legal costs. UC will have work conditions at some point. If you have free childcare with relatives but she doesn’t have that option that’s going to impact her income. You also need calculate cost of moving / legal fees etc as that will reduce what’s available.

A court won’t expect to keep her in the house till kids 18 if there’s enough equity to sell and house elsewhere. It just wo t happen

shell also be expected to work full time or navimise income through benefits to maximise mortgage ability ( if needed)

you’re a low earner and needs of both can be met with 50/50 split do you are not wrong to push for that despite what you’ll be told here

a court will look to sever financial ties as quickly as possible which can be done here by selling the house so that is what will happen

She works in school so she would never work weekends. I do see it from her point always would . She gets her mum dad drop them school every day anyway. Every holiday I book time off at work is based around the kids . My mum dad would get involved too

I dont wanna be a part time dad
