Just putting out feelers to see if anyone can help from a professional angle or from personal experience.
For various reasons, am thinking of ending my marriage of 5 year duration.
House was mine before marriage, worth around 150k. I have always paid mortgage which is now down to 50k due to my overpayments over the last 8 years and in my name only. No other assets apart from car.
H has around 40-50k in cash assets.
Both work, he earns more than me by around 15k.
I have child early secondary education who lives with us. He has 2 due to go to uni in the next year who live with mum. He is older than me and could retire if he wanted in the next couple of years. We both have pensions.
My question - simple really will i have to lose mine and dc's home in the event of divorce? I wouldnt want anything from him.
Any help appreciated - i know i need to take legal advice if i decide to go through with it but am just wondering if anyone has a similar experience.
