The conversation has not happened yet but you know when your marriage is over. I have been married for almost 28 years and have been a housewife through the majority of it. I have no money of my own so everything is controlled and monitored by him. We are not in a good financial state and have no savings but decent assets. Recently I was diagnosed with cancer and believe I have a good claim for critical illness. If it gets paid out he is entitled to half of it and it would be enough money for me to leave and look after myself. My fear is that if it gets paid into our joint account he will take over control of it. I was thinking of opening up my own account for the claim to be paid into. Then I have control. The other reasoning for it is because he lied to me a few months ago about getting our house valued to sell and he said we could rent somewhere and invest the equity. A week ago after many drinks he told our friend that his plan was actually to sell the house split the money and leave me.
Please anyone who has been in a similar situation please advise.

I'm sorry for your cancer diagnosis.
Yes, definitely open your own bank account.
After such a long marriage you will be entitled to 50% of all assets, so if there is anything other than the house, you are entitled to half of those too - including his pension.
Would you consider instigating the divorce yourself?
If you have no access to money for legal advice, there are other options available - click on the "advice now" tab at the top of this page.

You’re not entitled to 50%

you’re entitled to a far share of all assets which could be 50% but could be more or less overall. You could also get different % of assets rather than everything being split in the same share.
