My sister is the the breadwinner in her household,( she earns in excess of 200k a year ), her husband of 10 years gave up his job,( much less potentially lucrative than his wifes' ), when the first of their 4 children was born,( he is now 10 ).They are now separated and he is instigating divorce proceedings....she is left ' holding the baby',( quite literally as they also have 18 month triplets as well as their 10 year old...), working punishingly long hours whilst he has fled to their holiday home in France...with a ' younger model '. She has hired a fulltime nanny, and a 'hotsho't lawyer...but the latter is being cagey about what she can expect. Will she be taken to the cleaners ? Her future costs have just sky rocketed...fultime nanny, relief nanny,the sole responsability of providing for all the school fees/university etc...he was always ' just about ' to go back to work/ earning ££ but actually i don't think he ever intended to do so BUT his parents are very wealthy and my sister always thought there would be a windfall in the future from this.He is an only child but has a poor relationship with his parents,( they haven't disinherited him though ), and they don't speak to my sister, and have never met their grandchildren, they are in their 80s and in bad health. Anyone got any experience of this sort of divorce scenario ? I'm worried that she is not getting the best advice,( although lawyer is specialist/well known and charges £££++ !), and about the terrible burden on her now...she has a serious health problem too which stress will very likely exacerbate.
