Hi - we are both in agreement to get divorced and I guess we can start the process online to save some money at least. But where do we start with the financial side of things? My husband has bought himself a new property with inheritance (he lost both of is parents) and I don't wish to take any inheritance and he will not from me either - but we separated some 10 months ago and he continued to live here and he didn't contribute at all to the bills/rent nor provide maintenance to our daughter (she is now 16). Could I ask for back payment to bills/rent/maintenance for the 10 months? He is not violent to me, but does tend to punch walls and break the cabinet doors when he is pushed, so I feel intimidated and I have kept my head down. Any advice would be really appreciated. Thank you so much

Hi Jo, thanks for reaching out to amicable. I'm sorry to hear about your situation. The first thing to do is get a full picture of your financial situation, once you have this you can either start to work out an agreement together yourselves, or using amicable or mediation. There are lots of things to consider and you might find our agreement checker useful in things to consider. We also have a blog on inheritance and another on pensions. I would suggest booking a 15-minute call with us to understand your options and the next steps.
