Advice on possible settlement

Assuming he stops paying maintenance when your daughter leaves to go to university, this will heighten the difference in your incomes and could possibly mean you have a case for some sort of spousal support. This however, needs to be considered alongside the rest of the asset split. If one spouse gets significantly more equity/cash assets it may be considered not applicable to award spousal maintenance.

I am sure maintenance will stop which is only fair. I suspect he will hel[p her directly which is the right thing to do.

I am actively seeking work but would just like the security of nominal sm should I need it.

Like many women I was the one who took a step backwards in my career to look after my children and as a result am a lot worse off.

Thank you so much for your advice Maisy

Updating this post as stbx has said he will be cancelling any payments to me when daughter leaves next week for Uni, message sent through daughter as usual.

This will leave me with £608 per month to cover mortgage of £336 and all other bills.

We have not yet started divorce proceedings and I am unable to see a solicitor until 3rd October.

Is there a chance I may get mps if I file for divorce, he has paid £ 600 per month for the last three years. I do not expect him to pay for our daughter but cannot survive on £608 when he is earning £2100 with little outgoings as he lives with frinds of OW (allegedly).

I have checked if I can clim ny benefits but nothing except single persons council tax.

I have asked to speak to him but he says he is seeing a solicitor.

Any advise please.
