finally got the decree nisi, so have started discussions on the financial's, now still at a very early stage with this and have not received her proposal, although i have a good idea what its going to included, from previous 'heated discussions'.

anyway my dilemma is the following, she has a 'attachment' to the family home and does not want to sell it.

there is a significant age difference (her older by 14 years) and my earning capacity is much higher as i already earn over twice what she does.

It sounds as if you are going to have to stand up to her more.

You are already offering an 80/20 split in her favour but she is still holding you to ransom over the house.

I reckon he is not particularly materialistic and chooses path that long term will be most benefitial - the more he gives the less likely there will be animosity which could have life long impact on him and child. He pragmatically concluded that he can have what he wants at 80/20 split so no point in being antagonistic and try to offer less. I would draw a line at it though amd hopefully the court will see that if she can have 2 bed accommodation with that money there is no need to prolong tie and house can be sold now. Good luck , gonzo. Do not be angry with ex that she does not appreciate how accommodating you are and asks for even more. It is hard to be objective when one is in the situation and feels vulnerable due to low income. May be if the court sees that you offered it from start and she did not accept she will have to pay court fees for both of you - check with solicitors.
