Entitlement following seperation

She can't decide whether to accept any proposal from him until they have both given full financial disclosure, so she is clear about what the assets (and debts) are.

She also needs to look her her financial needs, e.g. what mortgage she could get in her own right, what it would cost to buy somewhere suitable and so on.

A gift / loan from his parents may be relevant - it would depend on the situation as a whole, including any evidence either of them had about the intentions or agreements at the time the money was provided.

HAs she registered her matrimonial home rights notice yet?

Yes she has, she did that a couple of weeks ago,.

She needs to call his bluff. If indeed his parents that indicate they have a legal stake in the property then she loses nothing by finding out first.
It sounds to me he is trying to rush her into an agreement probably because he is aware his pension is worth more than she realises and he wants the agreement locked in before she is properly advised, alternatively there are other assets he wants to hang onto (company share scheme maybe or other investments).
The only one benefitting by rushing is him , so she shouldn't rush but wait til the full financial situation is clear .

He sounds a delight, wanting his kids to have a household with less than it should have whilst he holds ontothe lion's share.
