Hi, could someone advise if this is a potential issue.
I am currently negotiating a settlement with my ex. I am self employed and currently according to all sources wouldn't be able to get a new mortgage due to having less than 3years worth of tax returns. My business is established and profitable so I have no worries there.
Should that impact the pay out? He is adamant that he doesn't want to give me the money as I wouldn't be able to buy elsewhere anyway, therefore I should wait.
I want to get this settled sooner rather than later and if necessary put the money into the savings account to buy a new property in the future. Does that sound reasonable?
We have two young children and have been together for 14years.
