Split and DH getting spiteful about money

Hello all, I have previously posted about situation with DH and it is now official, the rings are off etc. I am looking for somewhere to rent for me and DS as he refuses to move out. 10 days on and he is getting concerned about how much this is going to cost him. we each put £45k in when purchased the house and he later paid £95k off the mortgage as he had some inheritance from his father. The remaining mortgage is less than £20k, which if split 50/50 is £100k each. He has told me that if I claim 50/50 he will makes things very difficult for the rest of my life, there will be no happy times with DS and he will give up his job (he is a workaholic, one of the reasons for split), so that he doesn't have to pay child maintenance and doesn't care if we end up in a bedsit in a rough area etc. solicitotor says because he put that money into marital home it is now marital asset. He earns double what I do and claims he would be stuck financially if he had to pay maintenance! Also says he will go and spend £50k on his credit card so that I am liable for half. Can anyone please advise on debts that he took out, in his sole name, when I am not on any of the paperwork, wasn't consulted about the 3 car purchases - all cars for his own use, not intended for the family etc - would I be liable for them until divorce finalised and if so, is there any way I can do a financial separation to ensure no further debts are racked up by him that I would be liable for? Thanks for any advice

Oops! Keep posting and sharing- lots of experts on here. I am married to a policeman- mine is ok but I know that some of them aren't. It's just a job and they are just a man.

Life will be much better for you, you will be surprised at what he will have to cough up. Not paying maintenance used to be a sackable offence back in the day for cops 'failing to discharge a lawful debt'- just saying! Would he lose his job- that would well and truly piss on his chips xx
