BF has finally left controlling, alcoholic H. She tried to go a year ago but went back after a few months after his family guilted her into it.
Anyway, she has always worked, and although H earns more than her generally, his work has been patchy for the last year due to the alcohol and he has been picking up part-time work and doing a part-time uni course. BF has been making up the shortfall (plus paying for uni course fees) by working all hours.
H is now blaming his drinking on her. He has drawn up a financial plan, apparently with legal advice, to divide up the assets (no DC). They have 2 properties, the marital home and a rental place. There is more debt than anything else, really, but he wants to be 'bought out'. In his plan, he keeps the marital home (takes on mortgage) but if she wants the other property to live in, she has to get a new mortgage plus pay him his share of the equity. He says this is because the marital home was his before they moved in together (which is true) plus he's entitled to his original deposit out of the equity calculation and he should get more of the equity because he lived there for x number of years before she moved in, so there is virtually nothing left.
He also wants her to pay him for half the balance on his credit cards, but if she wants to keep her car (which she needs to get to work) she has to give him the deposit amount that was paid, and take on the loan.
He has also cleared out the joint account - he says this is to pay the mortgages/bills etc. She has literally £10 in her purse.
He says this is a generous offer and that his sol has told him he could ask for far more. Obviously I've told her to get free legal advice etc but she is in a bit of a state and is thinking she'll just give in as the price of her freedom. (She has no savings and will have to get a loan to pay this money.) Is this the best way to go to be free of him, or is she entitled to a better deal?
