Hi I am in mid proceedings. Married 2006, separated 2 years ago in 2016.

Difficulty with finances. He remains in FMH and wishes to buy me out but I think this is unlikely due to his finances. Equity is £165k and we are arguing about joint debt currently, he’s claiming much more than I think is true / reasonable - so we have asked for proof. I am stressed about spending on legal costs as it’s eating into possible deposits for mortgage - I need at least £50k clear as a deposit to have any hope of buying in my area (needs as joint care of 9 year old).

Husband earns £54k net; I earn £24k net. CETV shows my pension at £162k; his at £350k. I understand from the solicitor that in order to pursue a payment from his pension we will need to involve actuaries. I also
Understand that this will involve more £££ in legal fees (possibly in the thousands?). My question is do I leave it or pursue it?
