Hello,
My other half applied for divorce nisi. We want to leave things amicable because of our daughter. I bought my flat when I was single, we lived in it during our marriage, until separation. I was full time mum and spend all my savings that I had from my single life (around £30,000) throughout our marriage of seven years. When I was full time mum, my other half was paying for everything in terms of bills, mortgage on the flat. I paid for running and repair of my car, baby things and that's how everything was spent.
After separation, which happened 3 years ago, my other half was able to buy a house and is very financially stable. Being full time mum left me with nothing but my flat and my daughter. I am working part time but struggling.
As we're going through a divorce now, I hear things from people that I should be able to ask for things, which I don't want, even though I am strugglingi to make ends meat. I get maintenance for my daughter. People advice me to get at least percentage of his pension as I lost financial safety and struggle to pay bills and mortgage, now.
It is almost like I don't want any upset between us and be amicable for our daughter's sake. She is 10 now.
Any advice would be very helpful. Thank you.
