In 2022 my wife and I separated but lived in same marital home. I suspect she found a new man but that is only a suspicion.
Well I moved into spare room and several months later I found a girlfriend. We see each other twice a week.
Soon after, my wife told me she found someone and she referred to him as her partner.
So in latter end of 2022 she was spending lots of time with him and then in early 2023 they bought a new flat, I assume its in his name as she did not have much of an income at ghe time.
In 2020 I started at University with the aim of making a better life for my wife and I, I currently have approx 60k in student loans but was a mature student in his very early 50s. I passed my degree course btw with all this going on.
The wife moved out of our marital home and insisted it be put up for sale. My grown son lives with me and j pay all household bills except she pays her half of the mortgage. I pay the food bills and vets bills of the family dog too.
She insisted I cash my pension last year and we both got 8.5k of it, I paid my debts off and she bought a new car with her new partner going halves.
They are always going away on holidays, he has several properties that he rents out. The flat that they moved into.and renovated was bought specially for them both by the new partner. He pays for the holidays and other expenses so he does have a good assets base and income that can support her and does.
Our marital home is under offer and I found a new property which is really going to stretch me financially. Going from paying 260pcm to 600pcm for a mortgage.
My question is this and j am sorry its quite long., what js the likely hood of coming out of any financial order worse off than her. She is currently working as a support worker and on a reasonable wage I assume, knowing the industry she is in, I know the money is reasonable. But she has shared house costs and has so many holidays booked for the next 6 months according to my son.
Can I claim on his assets as part of my financial settlement. I don't think I can afford to pay her any money in spousal maintenence. Buying a new home is cheaper than renting but it will take all I have. What are the chances of a 50 50 split with the home. I stand to get 40k out of it with that split. I know this is usually from the angle of the wife, but will me being a bloke affect this.. I am still only seeing my girlfriend 2x a week and never in my home.
