Separation agreement

Lill1e · 25/04/2022 00:43

Hi again everyone just another quick question. When having a separation agreement done up by our solicitors what can you or can you not ask for in these agreements does anyone know? Finally got him to agree to let the children stay in their own home with me as he has two properties he can go to, I have nowhere else to go. He wants a separation agreement done up by our solicitors but he’s asking for crazy things like literally half of everything we have including savings but He will not be contributing to the mortgage while he’s gone. I actually don’t care about that I’ll manage but he’s also requesting no man comes inside the door of the house and other things like that that have not even entered my head at this moment. Has anyone been through one of these separation agreements and what is allowed and what is not allowed? I’m afraid to go to my solicitor with his conditions in case she laughs in my face. Thanks again x

He can ask for half of everything. It is unlikely that he can dictate who you have visited your house. It is quite common for various clauses to set out what would change should you cohabit.

You might be better off selling up and having the proceeds of sale to get your half if you can't afford to buy him out of the property you are living in.

He can ask for whatever he likes but dictating who you have as visitors is controlling and abusive. Absolutely not.

I was thinking he couldn’t just put what he wants on it. He’s just trying to stay in control even while we’re separated. I’ll speak to my solicitor and see what she says. Thanks for replies x
