Hi everyone, first time posting and feeling a bit lost so bear with me.
My husband and I have decided to separate after 11 years. It's sad but we both know it's the right thing, and we're trying to keep it civil for the sake of our two boys (7 and 9).
The big worry for me is the house. We bought a new build about 3 years ago and there's not loads of equity in it yet. I work part time so I could never afford to buy him out on my own, but I really don't want to uproot the boys from their school and their friends on top of everything else. He says he's happy for them to stay put for now but I don't know how that works in practice, or whether I'd just be putting off the inevitable.
We've also got two pensions (his is much bigger than mine as I took time out when the kids were small) and I genuinely have no idea if that's something that gets looked at or if it's just the house that matters.
Neither of us wants to end up in court fighting over everything. We've seen friends go through that and it was horrible. Is there a sensible way to sort all this out between us? Where do we even start?
Thanks in advance x
