Problem With Ex

A question about : Problem With Ex

Hi all,

Was hoping to get some advice on a situation I'm currently in:

My wife and I separated early this year (not yet started the divorce), seeing me move out and moving in with my parents as I'm unable to pay the mortgage as well as rent somewhere else. We have kids.

Actuarial reduction on final salary pension

A question about : Actuarial reduction on final salary pension

I gave up work to raise a family. I gave up a career which offered a final salary pension at 55. My partner has a similar pension. Our three kids are in the process of leaving home. My partner divorced me last year after a 20+ year marriage. A pension sharing order payable to me will pay me at 60 or 65. I don't want to work that long whilst my ex stops at 55. I can get part time work but starting afresh s tough - my ex partner is at the top of the career ladder by contrast.

Student loan treatment in divorce

A question about : Student loan treatment in divorce

Hi, I have a student loan and I am getting divorced. She and I have no assets to share out, only debts. Our credit card debts are weighted towards her, but my student loan makes the sums roughly equal. I want my student loan to be considered, whereas she does not.

In mediation and from my solicitor, all I have had so far is, it's treated differently from credit card debt. No one seems to know how it is treated differently. Does any one have a similar experience wrt a student loan to share?

Who Gets What ?

A question about : Who Gets What ?

Hi, difficult situation I have but not sure who is right, and morally, ethically and legally what is the right way to handle this.

I used to married from 2001 - 2005 and we split up and my ex had a new guy. During that period we divorced. I owned a house before we met, she never contributed and the house probably wasn't worth much more when we finished in 2005
