Maintenance or financial support from husband

Do you know the amount he receives from his two private pensions, did he get a lump sum, does he have savings, if so how much?

You say he is living in a flat, is that rented, or is he living with someone?

You say he has not responded to Solicitors do you have a Solicitor who is still involved?

First time he moved into a flat locally...second time..last September he moved into a flat 60 miles away...he rents it...its in bed sit land for the university...probs 400 pounds around...he took no furniture as said was furnished
he will be getting state pension..plus 3 year council pension...his last job...not sure if lump but doubt it....he had savings fo around 20,000....a new car purchased when he moved out..paying monthly for that...worth around 7000....not sure what else he has
mediation suggested..he ignored...i do have a solicitor but cancelled last appointment as £200 an hour..i just cannot justify that...

I note no response to the above post
As an additional comment which may have some baering on this....he moved out twice...came back after asking too....remained with me for about 8 months ...then same thing happened again...he retired to the spare room for 26 days....does this count as a new start i.e. is this considered a break in the marriage and therefore relevant as to the amount of time he lived in my house??????

Doesn't really matter if he moved out twice. It's the length of the marriage which is relevant.

Why does your private pension end soon?

What you really need to know is what his income is. Is he likely to have spare cash left over after he has paid his rent and living expenses?

How big is your house? Could you downsize to release money and reduce costs?

What other assets do you each have?

my pension is just around %0 poiunds a month..I took a cash sum 5 years ago to help my daughter..the pension scheme was closed...it was wor the PFI vcompany I worked for...so its limited cash in it...after that I just have the state pension.

I am concerned for my house...though I believe him when he said he would never touch it...its solely owned by me and was bought before he moved in..tho now I am advised he could as the marriage was some 11 years...
He will have spare cash...he has 2 if not three pensions and cash in bank over £20,000 and a brand new car.
I cannot downsize any more and at 69 I have had enough stress caused by this man....
I have an old car...worth 200...thats it???

Unfortunately your income isn't showing correctly so we can't see what you have.

You really need to check to make sure you are receiving all the benefits you are entitled to.

If you go down the divorce and financial order route you will both have to make full financial disclosure so you will be able to see exactly what pension he has.

Presumably though the majority of these pensions were accrued before the marriage? You seem to want to ring fence the house as it was yours before you married but include all his assets.

It may also be significant that you chose to take a large part of your pension as a lump sum and give it to your daughter, how much was this?

We are still unsure of why your private pension payments stop after so short a time in payment. Most company pensions continue paying until death so presumably this was something you were able to opt for? What were your plans to replace this income that you knew would end when you chose that option?

Hi sorry for delay...re his pension....he has a 3 year one with NHS...taken on as permanent staff after a redundancy situation
My pension is the standard state plus £50 a month....the pension scheme closed..I took £300o out to help my daughter after marriage broke up...her also paid her £3000....
He has had two private pensions since before we were married.
Are you saying I cannot touch them???
As to benefits...I am not yet entitled apparently...so on pension plus little private....I have a credit card bill ..joint which I am struggling with...things are very tight...
He still wont respond...
