Does stbx have to declare and share all his pensions?
He has a very good work pension, 13 yrs from state retirement age but can retire early, but has about 4/5 smaller pensions or retirement profit stuff due on retirement so does he have to declare and share these too?
Also, he has a mass of shares in work company does he have to declare and share them?

He's asked me to write out what I need or expect from him and he'll agree or not and we negotiate from there. We are doing as much as we can without paying for solicitors or mediation.

There is no mortgage on the house but the house will be legally the children's house once youngest turns 18 with me having a right to live in the house till my death or I decide to move out. The thing there is that I will still need to run and maintain the house till the children are financially able too, how do I factor that in my expenses?

I now work as the children are older but was the homemaker or working a few hours a week to fit in with not needing to pay child care costs so only have a state pension, minus 2 years that I'm hoping to pay off, no shares or other investments so does that factor too?

Any help muchly appreciated. :)

Everything goes into the assets pot so yes, all of it needs to be declared. Ask for supporting paperwork as well. It is worth looking at form E to see what is required for full financial disclosure.

When were the arrangements made re the house? What are they precisely? If you have transferred a property, a court may overturn the transfer to allow both of you to meet your housing needs.

Hi hadenoughnow, thanks for your reply.

My solicitor suggested the house idea and we are both happy to transfer the house over to the children. It just needs to be drawn up officially.

When our youngest reaches his 18th birthday, the house deeds etc will be transferred to the children's names but there'll be a clause saying I can live in the house till I die. Stbx rents privately.
