Inventory of household contents

In preparation for court, we've been asked to produce an inventory of the the contents of the marital home.

I fear that my husband is seeing this as a documenting everything down to counting the clothes-pegs, curtain hooks and pens whereas I see it as only achievable in the pre-determined timescale if we adopt a more broad brush approach.

We have teenage children at home and my husband wants to include their posssessions (clothes/shoes/toys/books/gadgets) in the inventory on the basis that we jointly paid for those items (even if they received them as Christmas/Birthday gifts). The kids are old enough to decide who they want to live with and have, without prompting, asked me if they can live with me and just visit him when they want to, so I can see that he's basically wanting their possessions to come out of my share of the asset split.

We also don't agree on whether our own personal possessions are to be included. His solicitor agrees to whatever my husband says and fires off a letter to mine with his demands to which my solicitor advises me it's a waste of time and money arguing over such trivia and to just give in to his demands. Yes, I do have more clothes/grooming products etc than my husband (although trust me, none of it was expensive, he's always been the one with expensive tastes) but he spent equivalent amounts of our disposable income on meeting his mates at the pub so has less to show for his spending from the joint account over the course of the marriage if you see what I mean.

Do the courts expect personal possessions to be included in an inventory of items in the marital home and if not, is there any guidance on what is/isn't classed as personal possessions ?

Usually only interested in items that are individually worth over £500.

Second hand furniture is worth very little if you sell it.

Kids stuff isn’t yours to split.

Thanks

What about our own respective personal possessions ?

Can we just leave these out of the inventory ?

Again, only of interest if worth over £500.

If you own an oil painting or car then list it’s value. You don’t need to list trivial items like clothes.

Kids stuff doesn’t come into it.
