    Before doing that, contact the debt advice charities. It seems unlikely that his income is sufficient to cover his debts and your income shouldn't be a factor in that calculation at all. There's a real possibility of arranging interest-free periods, reduced amount owed on the debts or more affordable for him payments that use none of your own income.

    I was thinking if we can have any percentage split, then could I have it changed lets say 95/5 in my favour?.

    You need to take professional advice before doing anything like that, it could be considered asset dumping.

    Please try not to worry, I know its easy to say but just by seeking the help and advice you are taking a huge step, well done you. I have a DMP with the CCCS and can really reccomend them as their help and advice has saved my sanity, our family and given us a quality of life for once. Having to rob peter to pay paul is not a nice way to live and with everything you have to cope with getting the money sorted will make life easier I promise. I would contact the CCCS who will basically give you good honest advice to help you sort this situation out. Good luck.
    Debt free and plan on staying that way!!!!
