I’ll start by saying that I know I also need legal advice, however I’m hoping to get an idea of what is reasonable before taking that step.
DH and I are divorcing and it’s currently fairly amicable and I’m keen to keep it that way. However he has been given a lot from his parents as early inheritance. He has one house (approx £240k, mortgage free) that he rents out, a parcel of land (£100k, does Airbnb in summer) and he paid the deposit on the family home which we’ve lived in for 15 years. I have savings but have not been given any money. I have paid half of the mortgage and it’s usually me who buys the big ticket items. I earn more and he doesn’t really work in a stable job.
Ive said that I won’t contest his rental property or his Airbnb business but he’s also saying that he wants half the family home. Buying him out would wipe out all of my savings and leave me with a larger mortgage but I could just about do it.
is what he is asking fair or should I didn’t heels in and go for maybe a 70:30 split as I’ll also be having primary custody of the DC.
