Need advice

Ex husband and I are moving towards divorce although neither has started the process officially. The reason on my side was financial - left to run family home with children and pets on one wage. Husband is wealthier (family money). Recently he has come into inheritance from three different sources. Two whilst we were still together, one when we separated. I haven’t asked about these as he made me feel very inadequate in terms of financial contribution to our household despite us both having similar careers. I have only realised how toxic this was since separation. He would also hide money in stocks and shares and more recently Bitcoin and then say that he was struggling financially. He pays the minimum in maintenance.
This week he communicated via text message that he wished to pass on some of the inheritance as he felt ‘it was right’ he did so. I didn’t respond to this message as I didn’t feel comfortable. Since then I have had a number of deposits into my bank account - not large sums but not insubstantial either.
How do I proceed with this?
Thanks for the advice.

Seek legal advice especially if you expect to divorce. The assets are still marital assets and it’s worth seeking clarity on his full financial position. It’s also worth pursuing the due maintenance for your family. These one off deposits are a distraction IMO.

You need legal advice and potentially a forensic accountant as part of that if he won’t disclose. But please get a solicitor as a starting point.
