![]() If you agree 50:50 shared care that would change. His liability as non resident parent may be reduced if he has the children with him part of the time but he will still need to pay. ![]() SM may still be a factor, especially if you need to retrain in order to earn a decent income.Īs far as CM goes, income is income from whatever source. You would be expected to maximise your income as well. If he has been a high earner, has voluntarily quit and is fit to work, a court may well make an award based on earnings potential. There are though some general points that may help. The thing with financial settlement is that there are no hard and fast rules because every case is different. It is good to be as well informed as possible. Have a good look round the site and read up on financial settlement on divorce. Just looking for a bit of info if there is a general rule on how things work when both couples don't work, but one has just quit a highly paid professional job and is claiming ill health for not returning to work,( but will definately return to work as soon as divorced) I have already been told by friends I should go to a solicitor but I am trying to maintain an amicable split by not antagonising him, also we are still under same roof so don't want to start a messy, solicitors battle. If I keep the children average 5 nights a week and him two nights will he have to pay me child maintence even though he doesn't not work, from his share of assets ? Or will I get a bigger asset split because I am providing main home for the children? He can probably go to a gp and get signed off work permenatly if that's what he wanted to. Soon to be moving out into rented as our FMH is due to sell. I will be the one paying over the odds for a house in an expensive area in order to make sure they get into a good school, while he can live in a cheaper area. I feel one night a week with him at weekend or two nights every other weekend is more sensible. He is now also pushing for a 50:50 split of children's time but I feel they should have a main home from which they commute to and from school during the week to give them stability. I was told by a solicitor, whom I consulted back in October I should expect to be rehoused in a £750k home and 50:50 assets and then a spousal income and child maintence based on maintaining current lifestyle.īut now my husband has no income, where does that leave me? However I am now feeling betrayed and vunrable. We would therefore hopefully leave this marriage without amnesty and continue to raise our children as a separated but still friendly set of parents. Originally I had agreed we would work together amicably to draft up a Consent Order with a solicitor rather than go down the messy, fight for the max approach. He told me he would take summer off and then return to work but now he says he won't go back to work till we are divorced " so that we are on equal terms when we leave the marriage". We told the children in January and were due to then start divorce proceeding but he had a nervous breakdown and quit his job in February. ![]() We have continued to live under same roof since my husband told me he want ed to seperate last October. Two children 8 and 10 and I gave up a professional job paying £50K once whien first child born. ![]()
