we are currently negotiating a separation agreement. It's a no blame separation, things are amicable and we wish it to remain so.
We are talking about dh buying me out of the family home, I have no wish to stay here, and ouldnt afford to anyway. I have found a property for me and the 2 kids which I can buy with a deposit from the money from dh.
I love the possible new house, and the only way we can both do what we want is to split the equity from the house 50-50, based on selling the house at our lowest figure.
We are both happy with this, and on a day to day basis, I have around 800 per month to spend on stuff once all the bills etc have been paid. Dh would have a much bigger mortgage, and only have around 300 to spend every month.
We are worried that a judge won't think this is fair. We think it is and are happy.
We both have good jobs and have agreed not to touch pensions.
The positive is that the kids would be dealing with one less change, when they see dad it will be in a familiar setting.
So, is this even possible? It's my understanding that if we are in agreement it should be ok?
I could have 60-40 but that would mean selling the family home and all associated costs of dh buying and selling. But I don't actually need the 60% to do what I want.
Any advice or views?
