Hi all,
Been married for 17years, lived together 1 year prior. , 2 kids non dependant. I am self employed (property maintenance), wife is self employed but chose to carry on work part time once children became non dependant and always refused to contribute financially to bills etc, my average net income £25,000 and pay for everything, her net income £10,000 and pays nothing.
I built the house with Inherited family money 13 years before she moved in and married, and have always been mortgage free. House is valued around £310,000.
As it was a non matrimonial asset for 13 years prior to living together and marriage, would this be taken into consideration regarding division percentages.
