Marriage, relationships & families

Hi everyone, hope you can help me with this question. Myself and my husband are getting divorced amicably and the house and savings account is in joint names and are being split in half. My question is - will he be liable for spousal support also or does this not apply when the assets are split as technically I can live of…

So me and my partner was together 4+ years and i lived together 4+ years. She hasn’t actually said we are finished but shes said she needs space. She’s only stopped at home once or twice in the last 2 week as she’s been sleeping elsewhere. I’m finding it hard to move on as all her belongings is still in the house. I’m…

So me and my partner have been going through the wars together. She has stopped out 3/4 times in the last week at her mums and at work. The trust in the relationship has been broken one of the nights she said she was working and her car was at her mums when i did some driving around to check. Now I’ve asked her to take her…

Hi all, I’m a newbie to this forum and got inspired to join because I think our family has fallen into a loop hole and not a good one. My partner is finishing her PGCE to become a primary school teacher and I’m currently in full time employment. We have a 1 year old who goes to nursery 5 half days a week and his Nan looks…

Not sure what I am asking. I had breast cancer 9 years ago and it has now returned. I am having surgery next week. I have a supportive partner but I am just full of anxiety to the extent I can no longer work or function normally. I sort of can’t believe I have cancer again and I worry that may make me make the wrong…

This week's MoneySaver who wants advice asks... Our son and his partner regularly ask us to babysit our young grandchildren. While we love spending time with the kids, they live about an hour's drive from us, which means it costs £15 to £20 in fuel per round trip. It's becoming difficult to afford it with other bills…

Hi, I am just here to offload really. My husband and I have been together for 25yrs and I have wanted to leave for so so long. I still want to leave. I don't love him. I am not sexually attracted to him. We don't even have that much in common - I don't think we ever did really. I've tried and tried to 'fall in love' with…

I’m currently going through a divorce but have yet to finalise the finances. We don’t have much - only the house to sort out and two debt - a credit card and a car loan. Over the years my husband has spent my savings and made me take out loans secured against my house . When looking at everything he’s “taken” against the…

We have split a room in our house to create a TV/gaming room which also needs to double up as a bedroom. Can anyone recommend a double sofa bed? It needs to be no wider than 1m90 but I'm looking for something that is both comfy to sit on and comfy to sleep on. I have heard so many people say that sofa beds are neither good…

Hello, new to the forum. Looking for a bit of advice as I'm at a point where I don't know what to do. I have been with my husband 20 years and married for 15. We don't have any children.

My neighbour has instructed a no-win, no-fee solicitor to deal with a claim for an accident at work. Judging from everything he has said re medical reports etc it is not going well. The company have admitted liability but his injury is relatively minor and from the medical reports it appears that a lot of the problems are…

My wife has always suffered from anxiety, mood swings, stress - none of it…

Could anyone advise…
