    Just because you have never ben married doesn't stop you having an opinion on what you think a wife/husband roles are within a marriage :p

    Well it has got to be someone I can throw my arms around every night and tell them "I love you" make them breakfast most mornings, cook their meals and make sure the remote is nearby so they can keep up with the soaps, always agree with them and run the bath for them :cool:

    she would almost certainly be entitled to a share of the farm, and his assets. but she would need to get details of everything she can and also get a damn good solicitor as she will need it. tell her good luck. it doesnt matter that she hasnt worked as she has been bringing up the children and the courts look at this as a contribution to the marriage. not like the old days when you pretty much had to walk away with nothing. she just needs sensible advice and a good solicitor can help her there.

    I don't think so. It's his parents farm, and the fact that the farm pays for everything even things like tv's etc means they must have good accountants I reckon.

    I used to work somewhere like this where the only son drove a merc but got paid £60 a week. The merc, his house, everything were all tied up in the company. All the items will be treated as company assets. It is his position in the company that will need to be explored.

    Im hoping someone has come accross this situation before!
    My friend is planning on divorcing her husband asap, they have 2 children. But their financial/living setup is unusual and we are trying to work out what she would be entitled to.

    She does not work. Husband works on his parents farm 7 days a week, 5am - 9pm or later this time of year, not taken a day off in years (huge reason for divorce wanted!) BUT income is just £500 a month in to the joint bank account.
    He has a equal share on the farm estate, his share is over half a million. The farm estate owns the house the family live in, the farm estate also pays the electric, oil, telephone, council tax - every bill going. If she wants a new tv, the farm foots the bill! Its a cushty life, she hasnt had to pay for a thing other than food and clothes during the 7 years of marriage.
    SO for CSA, could they take in to account the share and the fact he gets £500 cash a month is in reality not what he has access to, its actually a bottomless pit!

    Kelloggs will know better, but I'd say the best route is to go for a variation on "lifestyle inconsistant with earnings".

    I'd rather pour acid in my eyes than go near that quite frankly!:D

    If it means making my own meals and running my own baths then I am perfectly happy with that rather than with 'father of the year';)

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Has anyone briefly thought about the fact that the marraige might be worth saving? There's 2 kids to think about here, not what she can get her grubby hands on. Stuff the divorce, try relate first.
