My husband of nine years (nearly ten) has declared he wants me out of our house as he wants us to separate. All out of the blue and he yesterday announced his decision. He said there's no going back on his decision and that's that, apparently. Confused, shocked and anger doesn't cover how I feel right now.
I want to put to the side the fact he may have an OW etc etc and concentrate on the legal matters at hand.
Some basic facts:
- no children.
- he bought the house in his name after we married. I'm not named on the deeds.
- based in Scotland although married in England.
- I have very little savings (around 2k in my own personal bank account).
- he is the higher earner.
I am working part time as I'm a student and have gone back to uni so can't afford to buy him out or to find anywhere else to live right now. I only work 16 hrs a week on minimum wage.
He said he doesn't want to involve solicitors but has threatened he will.
He has offered me a lump sum of 50 thousand pounds to leave the house for good. He keeps saying this will be better than what I would be offered if solicitors are involved.
I understand I need legal advice and thankfully have some money to at least get some advice from one.
I'm just wondering if anyone has any initial advice on here. I feel like my world has imploded and he's acting as if nothing is wrong.
Thank you.
