What am I entitled to after 4 years of marriage?

[LadyEatsCrispsALot]

Bear with as don't want to drip feed...
Seperating from husband after 4 years marriage, 6 years together.
I owned own house and he had 2 flats, one he live din and one he rented out when we met.
I sold my house and invested £50 k so we could buy family home together. Joint mortgage. He kept 2 flats and rented out both.
So he has said he will sell one flat and give me the equity, £60k so I can move out of family home and buy own place for me and 2 DC. He will pay £600 a month child maintenance. I can get mortgage for £80k so looking to buy house for £150k.
He will keep family home on in his name. I don't want it.
He earns 3 x as much as me.
I have asked if he could give me another 20k from second flat he keeping to boost buying budget.
He states I am not entitled to anymore than the lump sum from the sale of the first flat.
The family home is worth £440k with mortgage of 330k.
Really what am I entitled to?
He said if I want more I should work full time and get a bigger mortgage. I work 3 days a week and earn £1000 a month.
He earns at least £3k a month.
I don't want half of everything ,just what is fair?

you need to stop worrying about his feelings/wants and focus on you and your dc.

Considering he earns 3x as much as you - why did YOU have to invest ALL your money into the deposit?

Don't agree to anything until you've got legal advice and it's down on paper - signed.
If you rely on his 'word' he can easily stop/reduce the payments later on.

As for working, if your dc is now attending nursery/school then yes, you need to have your own income.
You may be limited to school hour jobs for now, unless you can arrange wrap around care.
You're earning a full time wage based on part time hours - i don't see any issues with that.
