My husband has recently left me and I am now on my own with a 4 year old and a one year old. He has just started a new job earning £60,000 per annum plus an additional £40,000 in bonus and commision. The company he works for are paying him the full £100,000 pro rata over the next four months until he is earning the full salary which they have said they will virtually guarantee.
He is arguing over money to the point that he won't buy my son a bed and that I am now having to borrow money to purchase my sons first school uniform.
I only work p/t one day a week, earning £200 per month.
I am filing for a divorce as he has been having an affair behind my back.
Can anybody advise me of what monthly allowance I would or should be expecting based on the above information.
Can anyone also advise me about mediation and whether it is worthwhile or would I be best to pursue him through the courts.
