My wife and I are separating. All amicable at the moment. We own our house outright. Have agreed 50/50 split all assets.
I have been the main earner for 40 years. My wife only working a few years. Children been gone 8 years. I intend to continue to support her, but what percentage. She is capable of working. Do I adjust payments because im working and she could, but isnt ? She will be able to buy a home outright for about 500k. Do I have to support above ensuring she has basic living support. Thanks
