Hi memories and welcome to wikivorce.

Have a look at this: www.wikivorce.com/divorce/Divorce-Advice...-gets-the-house.html

It explains a bit more about how the financial settlement works. As you will see, it is all about needs - and how they will be met.

Your strict need - as his - is for a three bed property. How much would that cost where you live?

Are you still living in the same property?

How big is it?

Will you at some point be able to earn more? Do you need training/qualifications to do that?

Can I also just clarify the pension values ... his is 61k (assume this is CETV) .. what is yours?

Thanks for your advice. My pension is 87k CETV.My Ex still contributes to his pension which will grow mine stopped in 2004 when I was made redundant from the bank .The money went into the house paying off some of the mortgage. I cannot downsize as my property is a 3 bed terrace my ex is staying with family but buying a one bed flat with help from family . He has my son one or two nights a week but am trying to come to an arrangement every other weekend . My daughter prefers to stay at home.We are attending mediation but he is refusing to disclose information so not sure if we will have to go down another route.All I want is a home for my family but feel once my son is 18 1 will be forced to sell and not have adequate funds to buy a 2 bedroom property.
I have retrained as a nursery nurse a job which although badly paid fits in with school holidays . I have always worked fitting around my family. I will be 60 when my youngest is 18 what will the future hold?
