I really echo the above advice. You've been his partner in life for 30 years. What he has offered does not seem appropriate or acceptable. Please see a family lawyer - some do "no win no fee" and others charge a percentage of what you end up with. Either way I suspect you would be better off,. 

'No win no fee' Solicitors are for personal injury not family law. 

Family lawyers will often defer payment of their fees until your settlement is received though.

Contingent fees are a thing though?
