I have a long winded Divorce ahead and there is a lot of financial dispute.
I was married 12 years and plus another 3 years still in the marital home whilst Divorce case has been going on since 2017.
We have 2 children together, 5 and 13.
Ex does not want the children and is happy for them to remain with me.
Can i request for 80% share from the divorce as a starting point as he will be entitled to his fathers will, where he will gain a considerate amount of wealth?
My career stopped after the birth of my first child, and him and his family did not allow me to work or continue with my career.
I am not in the position to go out and get retrained or attend courses as once we move out of the marital home (which belongs to his parents) I will not be living in close proximity to friends or family that would be able to help with the kids. Also, to point out, my youngest child has severe food allergies and a strict care plan.
Since the ex has no other responsibilities, can i ask for a larger share of his assets so that my children are looked after and according to the lifestyle that they have always had?
I would like to be more prepared for my court date than what i already am. My financial circumstances at the moment are not great as i have spent a lot of money of solicitors and not got anywhere. For now i have been representing myself, hence why the lack of knowledge.
