Hi

I will try to keep this brief.

I am separated, divorce application not started yet.

I live in the family home which has £150K equity

My ex's pension valuation is £200K more than mine and annual salary is +£40k per year more than mine.

I am being pushed to sell the house as my ex want 50% out. My ex mortgage borrowing power is significant compared to mine.

What realistic options do I have here?

How can I get the best possible situation now to help me have a suitable home for me and our 3 children?

I have yet to table options to my ex, but i do think my ex will just refute eveything I suggest.

Any guidance would be appreciated.
