Oh and by the way I''m bing made redundant in 2 months time so really need to get a new house asap

I''m very surprised at the suggested asset split. I would have thought that, given th big difference in incomes and the shared care, you would receive slightly more of the equity.
The calculator is just a rough guide, a starting point. Is your wife a divorce specialist?

Nope - but she has loads of friends who are....

Actually the way it works is if there are enough assets to meet the needs of both parties there is less justification to move away from 50:50. I''m just rushing out, but I would have thought a 50:50 split would be enough for each party to rehouse.

There is a big discrepancy in incomes so SM might be a factor. Depending on both parties aspirations there are various options of achieving a fair settlement ie one that complies with s25 Matrimonial Causes act 1973 and other law. Basically the more assets are split in your favour the less claim there is to SM and vice versa. The first consideration is whether a Clean Break between spouses can be achieved.

Hi,

Just wondered how the 3.5 nights each for the kids work?
