intro me

as a woman getting divorced after 35 years due to my husbands adultery whilst working abroad. He even brought her over and she lived here until her visa ran out.
I am faced with very difficult situation, he doesn't recognise his guilt and seems to have lost his marbles. He is in receipt of his final salary pension and a hefty lump sum. But as his pension is now his income , at 58 he still thinks he will get senior management job and in the meantime feels he should not have to share his pension which is his income. I worked freelance around bringing up my children until 5 years ago when I went full time and he thinks if I get 1/2 his pension he should get 1/2 my salary! My company pension is negligble as I have only paid in for 4and a half yrs.
Does any one know if he could be eligible for income equalisation as his solicitor has advised. Mine says not but now worriedwhich solicitor is correct.

welcome to wiki.

Not a pensions expert but wiki does have those ... . However, I think he wd do well to remember it works both ways ... you have very little pension and he does - so when you retire you would be the one wanting an equal income!

The financial settlement is based on lots of factors - it is all in section 25 of the 1973 Matrimonial Causes Act. If you have a look under property and mortgages, there is a post there called "read this before posting" - if you can give us the info we need as set out there we can give you better guidance.
