I will soon serve papers re divorcing my husband.
I work in public sector and have contributed to a very hefty pension contribution in thirty years. I also co own a home with three others.
My husband and I contributed equally to our family home in which I live with my children full time.
They do not spend time with him whatsoever despite much encouragement from both of us.
He has suggested I hold onto my pension and share of the other property I co own in lieu of 50% equity of our family home.
I’m pretty sure the Solicitor and Barrister would push for 70% in my favour.
While he has paid maintenance each week, it was based on the kids being with me 75% of the time. They are now with me full time.He pays e50 per child per weeks for all expenses.
Also, he agreed to split educational and medical costs in our separation agreement but never has.
University is coming up now and I’m nervous about his flakiness .
What would you do here ????
He is self employed and enjoys plenty of sun holidays per year so money not tight , it seems.
Is court ordered maintenance worth pursuing in view of me having to bring him back to court over and over for non payment , if this is indeed the way things will go ????
