How many of you on here would seek a solicitor's advice in my situation ? 

From a will perspective you'd be wasting your time/money

From a potential divorce situation then if that's something you'd consider then absolutely

The ONLY remaining good thing is that he pays the bills.  But that's pretty much ALL he does .  My daughter is generally on my side and also thinks he's rude and unreasonable !!  He neglects his daughter by rarely spending any time with her at all.  The only attention she gets from him is on holiday

There is nothing you can do legally about his will though so seeing a solicitor is a waste of time/money. 
If you are not happy then definitely go and see a solicitor.

And another thought - as he owns our home in HIS name only - HE can have his care home fees or whatever paid when the Council attached an order to it !!!! But I cannot - yet more fairness to me !! 😕✔️

I repeat, she is EIGHT. Stop bringing her into this in any way!

If you were still living in the house, this wouldn't happen. 
His income would be taken into account but not the value of the house. 

GoodLuckGemma

Are you certain about this ?? 
What would stop the Council attaching an order to get their care home fees if or when the house is sold !!!

GoodLuckGemma

Which would then mean my daughter would get less money ultimately 😕

Katrina - please may I ask you - have you any experience like mine ?  And if you were me at 49 in my position - would you divorce ?? 
I would really like your thoughts please 🌠✔️
