Splitting assets in a divorce

2 replies

I've been separated from my husband since spring 2018 and am now looking into divorce - I'll be seeing a solicitor next week but only for 30 minutes initially so I'd like an idea of what I need to be asking!

What I'm basically wondering is how our property would be split. We bought it just after we got married (in summer 2014) and it's in joint names. However, my husband put the vast majority of money into it (e.g. 95% / 5%). I can't work out if it being in both our names means I'm automatically entitled to half or because it was his money it remains as his or if it's just altogether more complicated than that!

Anyone got any ideas?

It is more complicated than that. Ask your solicitor. As you are married you are entitled to a fair share of the assets. The property may be the main asset but all assets are taken into account. The question is what a fair share looks like. When your solicitor is in possession of all the facts they will be able to advise.

Thanks, I thought it probably would be quite complicated!
