i've been on this site, just looking and reading other ppl post, thought it is time to introduce myself.
I'm seperated from my husband since April 2008. We have a 3 years old son together, a 2 bedroom mortageged property and lot's of debts.
I'm very happy to finally be single after years of struggling with my husband and it's so so lovely to have a happy home again, the only problem seem to be is my husband, who is not willing/wanting to move on.
I want to divorce him ASAP, but he is not willing to even talk about it.
He went through a stage when he wanted to make me jealous (new girlfriend), then wanting to get back with me (he will change completely for me) and now the "hate you" stage, when he just wants to make my life as difficult as possible. He doesn't seem to realize whatever he does to me will affect our son too.
He is not willing to pay me any child maintenance (our son stays with me), or pay part of the mortgage.
I find it very hard financially, but life is still better than it was with him.
I have many questions, how to start divorce, what are my rights, mortgage, child maintenance etc, just don't know how to start all this.
unfortunatelly i dont have any family around me, who could sometimes help me, but when things get to me i just think of my son and it helps me to carry on....
well that's it for now and if you still reading, thank you and well done
On the homepage on this website there's a step-by-step guide to divorce.
If you provide details of length of marriage and your and your husband's salaries, mortgage etc people may be able to suggest what would be a likely split.
If you and your husband can agree on finances and childcare it will be easier and cheaper. If you have to go to court to get it agreed the solicitors will benefit and you'll have less money to divide between you.
