My wife left the marital home to live with her new partner. She is now making demands on selling the property and cash settlements. We haven’t started divirce proceedings as yet. Even at 50/50 split I won’t be able to afford to buy my home.

Hi Alan,
Thank you for getting in touch with amicable.
I’m sorry to hear about the challenges you’re facing. While the typical starting point in divorce settlements is a 50/50 split of assets, factors such as earning capacity, age, and future financial needs can significantly influence whether an agreement is approvable by the court.
I would recommend booking a free 15-minute consultation with one of our Divorce Specialists. They can provide tailored advice based on your specific situation and help you understand the options available to you.
If you and your wife are able to communicate, we have a Joint Advice Consultation. This one-off session allows both of you to receive impartial guidance together from a neutral Divorce Specialist. You’ll get clarity on what courts look for when determining a fair settlement, and it could be a helpful opportunity to address the issues that are stopping you from moving forward.
Here’s a blog that can help with your property division question, and it also links to several episodes of The Divorce Podcast which might be useful.
Best wishes, Tatiana
