Hello
New here.
Been reading along for a while and decided to post.
Separated Feb 2021.
Married in 2012
H moved out and houseshared with friends, then bought own place last year. 2 bed g/f flat.Understand this may be a matrimonial asset.
1 12 y/o of the marriage. I have another child (grown up)
H has 2x private ltd companies and is main shareholder
I have stayed in rented
marital home (13+ years now) and tenancy still joint names. H will not relinquish as a guarantor would be required and there is quite frankly, none. cannot afford online guarantor right now. R=£1100pcm, he deposits half into joint acct for our child. That pays the rent and helps. I work f/t (25k + U/C = roughly <£300 pcm but it helps, I can honestly say)
There are shares and assets and pension pots which I know of but have no proof. There have been a lot of sales of private possessions over the last 2 years that have got back to me via friends and contacts - is this disposal of assets to look poor? There are always explanations for this if I have mentioned. I dont think I ever get the truth and it frustrates me.
H thinks flipping a property and giving me a few k next year from equity is sufficient. I'm in W.London property isnt cheap.
Joint PR for our child, unlimited access with flexibility, I never call asking for money in fact my outward independence seems to infuriate H and ends up in crossed words. I have refused bundles of cash that has been offered through cash jobs he does on the side. financial worker if you understand me. good at hiding figures etc.
I just want shot, but want everything done right.
I have requested
mediation time and again when there has been attempts to conflict over child arrangements, I have sent message after message requesting divorce, been told 'not doing mediation or solicitors or court, will do a £35 online no fault divorce' and such like. Absolutely fed up with it and want to just move on in my life and draw a big line under this chapter.
How do I broach this whole situation? What next? Pay the wiki fees and get on with it? What do I present to a solictor?
If theres a sticky I should have read do point me in the right directions
Selena.
