[FONT=&quot]Hi All,[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I have been married for 5 years now and have a 1 year old daughter.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I have hurt my husband a few times in the past by cheating on him in the first few months of our marriage and no matter how hard I try I just can't be the wife he wants me to be. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]We decided to have a child after just over a year ago as everything was going great but since her birth mentally I just can’t cope and seem to do everything wrong. We argue all the time of things that always seem to be my fault and I have been on antidepressants for a few weeks and tried everything but I just want out of this marriage.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]He is an amazing husband and father and devotes every minute to me and our daughter but it’s just not enough I want out. We purchased our first house about a year ago from which I put in £5k for the deposit and he paid for all the fixture and fittings and also has paid for all the bills since. I pay for our daughter’s clothes and shopping.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]He has also has around 35k of savings which he had before we get married of which I want access to for my daughters sake. I also want my share of the house as I am planning to take our daughter to a flat and live on single parents allowance, I don’t want to stay in this house. Like every human I have a right to be happy and I am tired of people calling me names I just want what’s best.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I will stay as close to him as possible so he can access to her whenever he wants.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Am I entitled to his savings and the house? And can he use the fact that I cheated and was on antidepressants to stop me from getting the money? He would never fight for custody.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]

    As a wife with a child you would be entitled to half of whatever assets there are. Well, that would be the starting-point for discussions, I believe.

    To be honest, if you really want what's best for all three of you I would suggest that you address the issues you have with this relationship first before you decide to take such a huge step. Have you discussed any of this with your husband yet?

    Beign that you state that he devotes himself to you and his daughter entirely, why do you want access to his savings that he had before he met you?

    It seems like he's been doing the 'right thing' by your child so far and, I would assume, do the right thing by her if you leave him. As long as your daughter is provided for, fairly, then I'm afraid I'm not sure I can see why you should have access to his personal savings.

    As for your entitlement to the house- I can't comment but someone on here will know.

    Guys! It's a TROLL!

    1) Admits to cheating
    2) Wants all the savings
    3) Wants the house
    4) Is going to go and live in a flat on income support....

    There is so much there to indicate this is a troll post!

    Don't fall for it.

    Talk about kicking a man when he's down, take a share of his assets from when you met him and don't just go after pre marriage/meeting assets as I believe he will contribute to his child's upbringing.


    I think this must be a Troll as well.......

    Excuse me but I am not a troll, I have had some awful things happen to me as a child also and my head is just not in the right place and has not been for years.



    I just want peace and no arguments. We have discussed it and he was in tears but I changed my mind. But I find myself in the same place again, no matter what he says or does I only love him as a friend.

    I don't want the house he can have the house I don’t want to take him to the cleaners either I just want what’s legally mine and wants some security for our daughter. The only reason I want that money is so I can get a nice place for our daughter, I only want to take what he can afford to give for our daughter aswell. I don't want the courts involved for child maintenanc, just what he can afford as she will be sleeping at the house with him maybe 2-3 week.


    Please understand.

    If it is a troll, she certainly put a lot of effort in. I feel sorry for your kid...Think about her before you try to ruin her dad.
