Split if assets and ongoing support

[GoatGetter]

Hey everyone

query on if I get the lion share of house equity does that effect what support soon to be ex-h has to send me?

house equity 400k
pensions - agreed to leave out complicated with one defined benefit and his defined contribution
2 kids with likely 60/40 living arrangement 60 with me
salary me 40k ex 75k

if I get 180k from house how does that impact his ongoing support? All reasonably amicable but do we need a court to decide?

thanks

What ongoing support do you expect? Other than child maintenance he would not owe you anything at all “ongoing”.

Why would you only get £180k?
50/50 would be £200k and you may get more due to salary discrepancy?
Check with a solicitor that you’re not screwing your self over by not including pensions too.
Ongoing support would just be child maintenance, you can use their calculator to see what this would be.

It looks like a needs case where a clean break is achievable. You will be close to a 50/50 split of equity. May be 55% to 60%. He will have to pay child support. Which will probably equalise household incomes.

It’s worth noting that 5% of the equity is c 20k. Legal costs fighting over the equity split could be 5-10k each.
