Well, see what you can agree, but be prepared to be flexible. Bear in mind that what you save in solicitors' bills will go towards housing, so be very reasonable.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0

She wants stay in the house biggest problem0

Well, you may end up spending a fortune on lawyers, but it's worth trying to discuss this between you.Thejoke15 said:She wants stay in the house biggest problem
A 3 bed house should meet her needs with the 2 children. That leaves you with a 3 bed house, so the kids can visit. It's a reasonable solution, but people tend not to be at their most reasonable during a divorce.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?1 -
She will get legal aid though0

Only if she has suffered domestic abuse or she is at risk of homelessness because you are trying to evict her from the family home. Suggesting that the home is sold so that you can both be housed is not making her homeless.Thejoke15 said:She will get legal aid thoughNo reliance should be placed on the above!

Please get that thought out of your head. You are married and the house is an asset of the marriage, regardless of where the money came from. If you use that argument in court or mediation, you'll be fried.Thejoke15 said:DIY I was hoping she knows all the money come from my parents
However, her staying in the specific house isn't reasonable if she can get another one for half the value.
Do either of you have pensions? If so, those are also in the pot for sharing.If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing2 -
