Divorce in its final stages.
I'm due a share of the house and a one off payment for spousal maintenance.
I need to figure out how much of the total I can afford to put into a new home without spending all the spousal maintenance lump sum.
I tried to get some advice out of an IFA but she just said I need to buy the house before it's worth looking at what to do with what's left. But I don't know how much I can afford to spend on the house until I know how much of the rest I'll need to see me through to better times and/or retirement.
Chicken and egg!
Is there any sort of financial.advisor that specialises in this sort of advice?
