    Leave then, and leave the child with her dad who is devoted to her. And your house is probably in negative equity now.

    I am also devoted to her, I spend every minute with her apart from when I work. I work to provide for her and give her the best I possibly can.

    Please don't question me as a mother, I know I am a good mother and I know my husband knows that to. I just don’t want to live with him anymore and want what’s legally mine[FONT=&quot][/FONT]

    She is the only thing I think about and having a mum like me in this house is not best for her. I just wanted to know what I was legally entitled to. Can I get access to the money and the money that I originally put into the house?

    If she is all you think about surely money wouldnt be the main part of your first post? If your moving to a flat you will be in the same situation, just in another place. Maybe you should get yourself sorted before taking your daughter away, and taking your husbands money. Sort it out yourself!

    I fall for it have you tried marriage counselling or relationship counselling, explore all options available to you before even thinking of divorce. you say you cheated early in the marriage doesn't matter if it's early or right now still no excuse for it, i'd say you husband has got better grounds for divorce than you and if i were him you'd have been out on your ear long before the child was born.

    I need money so I can decorate her new room and make our new flat as nice as possible for her. Having talked to a few people I have every right to that money.

    From what you've written, it's you that needs to sort yourself out.

    You would be better off leaving your daughter with her wonderful caring and devoted father, whilst you go off and find whatever it is that makes you happy. Taking your daughter with you would be unbelievably selfish. It sounds like your daughter is happy where she is, so why put her through the stress of an upheaval, when she can just stay put and carry on being happy? It appears to be only YOU that is unhappy...

    If the thought of leaving your daughter behind makes you even more unhappy, then perhaps you should consider putting your daughter first?

    Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    I'm sure it doesnt cost £35k to decorate a flat? Not last time I checked.

    So if you get the house and £35k where does hubby live and what will he live off?

    He works full time how on earth can he manage her? She spends every day with me as I only works nights. Nothing would change for her apart from her bedroom a few nights a week. I will make sure he has as much time as he can with her.

    I dont want the house, he can stay in the house. I just want my money that I put into it when we first moved in.
