    The car is hers but it will be in his name - I think it goes on his company policy as he has own business.

    I would bet that his books show that he pays his wife a wage. His books may also show that he pay into a pension in her name too.

    RENTING? Have you checked to see that your landlord has permission from their mortgage lender to rent the property? If not, you could be thrown out with very little notice.

    oh and just to say, a soon to be ex husband who doesn't want a divorce and/or who wants to be diffcult, can delay a divorce for months...if not years. .

    Unless she has cause to divorce him i.e. adultery.

    Thanks for your comments. I don't consider that she "lived off his earnings" - she was his wife and as clearingout says, a marriage is a partnership. If the husband is fine about the wife staying at home and raising kids etc then that is fine. She does not intend on taking him to the cleaners, just a fair split.
