Separating Questions

[snoopy18]

Trying to get my ducks in a row at present as I don’t see the marriage getting any better after today’s blow up.

We have a property which is fully paid off - I’m wondering what the finance situation would be if we seperated.

I have a baby and so I would not be able to work full time in a traditional role however I have my own business hoping to flex up and go full time and a part time job which I’ve kept for my mental health really. The part time job is great as it’s sales based so potential of earning a decent amount in commission if I hustle more whilst trying to go f/t in business.

What sort of things would I be looking at financially in terms of any help I may be able to get?

I am planning on going citizen advise bureau next week but thought I would ask if anyone has any experiance.

Thanks

Hello i would get some free legal advice as well if you can

Thank you I need to look into that also

You can register for universal credit but if you earn from your current jobs and don't have rent to pay I doubt you will be eligible, there's support for small business owners through uc though where income fluctuates. Rather than running for legal advice and cab, you need to talk and get a private agreement which will always be better

If you are married you are entitled to fifty percent of all assets of the marriage at least.

With you as the main carer of the baby and with me most contact if the baby lives with you then you will get more than 50 percent probably.

The only way to be sure of your position though in your particular circumstances is to see a solicitor.

You’re not entitled to 50% at least
You’re entitled to a fair share. That could be more or less than 50% depending on many factors - ages/length or marriages, current and future earning capacity etc etc
Only a solicitor will be able to advise on likely outcomes

Sorry to hear this. Some solicitors give free consultations? Which may be worth looking into
