Divorce Calculator - Is this accurate?

My husband has walked out on me & our family after a 25 year marriage. I have just used the Divorce Calculator with the figures to the best of my knowledge & it says I''d get a 90% share of the assets. This seems rather unlikely - though I''d be very happy if correct! Has anyone used the calculator & actually got what it predicts?

A program will never replace a human, if it''s a very simple case it tends to be ok, but it can''t account for stuff like I''ll health, length of separation, a new partner on the scene, the list is long of what it can''t take into account.

You can have a financial consultation for a few hundred quid, this is by a lawyer and far more accurate, check out the services at the top of the page.

90% to one spouse is far from common indeed.

25 year marriage here, grown up kids and I got 90% assets and a generous pension share in return for a Clean Break! Him 100k p.a. + bonuses, me 28k per annum. I''m happy

As a general guide 70% is as high as court go, exceptions will always exist depending on circumstances, if you have a disparity it will effect the end settlement, it can range from 0-100%.

If it''s a long marriage and your the same age income and pension and assets are high, it could be half each.

If it''s a fairly long marriage, the wife has three kids under ten and earns bugger all, hubby earns 60k, assets are low, the wife will walk with the bulk of liquid assets and probably spouse maintenance.

To to poster, don''t look at what others recidved, it really does depend on your circumstances, no two cases are the same.

To the poster. Hi. By happenstance, the situation you have quoted is me, all over. Wife earns bugger all, has 2 kids under 10. One 5 and the other 9. But we have 135k assets. But with tax credits, child benefit, her net income with child maint from me, is £23k. I''m on £60k. How would you see things work out? I''m hapy to give her £105k of equity. Would I also have to commit to spousal maint?
